PREFACE. 

|HE author and compiler of this work has endeav- 
ored to condense and crystalize, in as brief a man- 
ner as possible, the great fundamental principles of 
developing speed in Horses, and believes that by a 
careful reading and attention to the contents of this work, 
any man with horse sense and a natural love for this 
noblest of all animals, coupled with a patient disposition — 
a man who can "wait and win," : — can become a success- 
ful trainer and driver. The work is peculiarly adapted to 
amateurs and farmer boys, who can readily understand 
every word contained in the work without reference to the 
dictionary. The author has confidence the work will be 
appreciated, from the fact that it is the only brief treatise 
of its kind in English literature that embodies all 
the information the amateur needs. And there is no 
doubt that in the future, when interviewing the great 
Knights of the Ribbons rivaling the fame of Bither, 
Johnson, Turner, Mace, Splan, Frank Van Ness, Jack 
Phillips, and other present great lights of the trotting 
turf, the reporter will be informed that their fame is 

indebted in no small degree to 

Hay Seed. 



HAY SEED, 



CHAPTER I. 

INTRODUCTORY. 



It is my intention to give in this work a few short and 
sensible hints as a guide to the horsemen who seek to 
handle their own horses, who have had little or no experi- 
ence in the art of developing speed. There is no leger- 
demain or slight of hand business about developing a 
trotter ; the business was formerly, say twenty-five years 
ago, shrouded in mystery, and a trainer of trotting horses 
was looked upon as a walking epitome of knowledge, 
when at the same time nine out of ten of these same men 
were comparatively amateurs. The whole business of 
developing speed in horses is based upon common sense 
and the knowledge of the laws of health as applied to the 
equine race. Now, to begin with, don't ever fool your 
time away with a dunghill or cold-blooded animal, one 
that will be looking for a place to lie down before he 
gets to the half-mile pole. But don't understand me that 
a horse of whose breeding nothing is known is necessarily 
a dunghill. A well bred horse, if he doesn't look it, will 
show it in his miles, and there is where breeding is of the 
most value and satisfaction. But an exceptionally well 
bred animal will never be overlooked by a horseman, 
though he may have no pedigree that anybody knows of. 

We will take it for granted that your horse is broken 
or has been driven in harness ; if your colt has never been 
driven he may be worth more than if he had been 
handled by some of the self-styled horse breakers. In 
the first place, don't do anything to the young horse to 
shake his confidence in mankind, but try and cultivate 
his confidence and respect. As good a way as I know of to 



6 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

gentle green colts — three, or even four years old — is to 
tie them in a stall in a barn with other horses and 
treat them just the same, viz : feed, water, bed, 
groom and go through the whole business with them 
until they become accustomed to the noise, and having 
people around. They will in a couple of weeks be- 
come perfectly docile. I have found that the less fuss 
that was made about hitching up a green colt the better. 
If you have got a good driving pole horse, hitch the colt 
in with him, to some light running vehicle, having first 
had a harness on him a few times and a bit in his mouth, 
and if he has had the proper kind of treatment around 
the stable it is a hundred to one he will go off readily, 
and by the time he has been driven a mile he will act 
like a horse ; don't drive him too far, two or three miles 
is far enough the first time. Keep driving him every day 
carefully. But if you have not got a good driving pole 
horse, hitch the colt to a skeleton wagon or sulky and 
get up behind him just as though he had been driven be- 
fore. Make him think he is a horse, and above ail don't 
fight him, and don't try to pull his head up too high un- 
less you know he is going to kick Get him to do what 
he does cheerfully and you will have a better broken 
horse in two weeks than half the old ones are. 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 



CHAPTER II. 

SHOEING, FEEDING AND WATERING. 

The colt should be shod if worked on dirt roads, and if 
snow or ice prevail shoe him all around sharp, so he can 
stand up. Don't shoe him too heavy, a twelve or thirteen 
ounce shoe in front and an eight ounce shoe behind is 
heavy enough. If you don't know how to have him 
shod, go to the best and most intelligent blacksmith you 
know and tell him you want him shod just as well as he 
would shoe a trotter, and pay him what he asks, if he is 
a man of judgment and experience in this kind of shoe- 
ing. I am not going to write a work on shoeing horses ; 
there are too many of that kind of publications now, and 
the more a man reads — the greater part of them — the 
less he knows. 

In regard to feeding, which is a very important part of 
our undertaking, I will say: A three-year-old ought to 
have at least ten quarts of oats a day and what hay he 
will eat up in an hour, say at night. If you are going to 
make a practice of driving him early in the morning, give 
him two quarts of oats and a little water before you 
hitch him up ; it will stay his stomach and he will feel 
more like going out. But if you don't work him until 
late in the forenoon, give him his full feed, four quarts, 
about six o'clock in the morning, and a little hay. In 
respect to feeding hay, or grain either, no man can lay 
down any rule as to how much any horse should con- 
sume in 24 hours. They want what they need to supply 
the natural waste of the body and keep them in 
strength and flesh and growing every day. Here is where 
judgment comes in play. A colt doesn't want drawing so 
as to make him look gaunt like an old campaigner, 
neither do you want to stuff him. In aged horses hay at 
night only will ordinarily suffice if the horse is a hearty 



8 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

feeder, and again some horses will not eat any more than 
they need if they have it by them all day. Colts, like 
boys, ordinarily have good appetites, and want enough to 
keep them growing. 

Give the horse all the water he wants at night, unless 
he has a race or trial on hand for the morrow, when it 
would- not be advisable. In the morning a horse, if he is 
in good health and is accustomed to have what water he 
wants at night after he has finished his hay, will not ex- 
hibit much thirst, unless he is a glutton and has gorged 
himself with his bedding, which habit ought to be cur- 
tailed at once, for no horse can be gotten into condition 
or kept so, if he eats all the litter he can reach. In short, 
water should not be given a horse in quantity when it is 
going to interfere with the performance of his daily work. 
Give him a couple of swallows in the morning before he 
eats his feed. Never give him over one-half a bucket at 
once except at night, when he may have a reasonable 
allowance. Rain, river and spring water are the kinds 
ordinarily in use for horses in training, well water being 
too cold, drawn directly from the well, to give horses 
with safety. A sudden change of localities, as a cam- 
paign necessitates, sometimes compels a change of water 
from hard to soft, or vice versa, and is attended always 
with some danger of relaxation of the bowels, but by add- 
ing a small handful of linseed meal to a bucket of water 
and gradually decreasing the quantity, the use of it can 
be discontinued in two or three days, and your horse 
will have become accustomed to the water. Water is 
better to stand in the sun and air long enough to ap- 
proach the temperature of the atmosphere before using 
it if it is well or cistern water. If a horse is a light and 
delicate feeder, the more water you can get him to drink 
the more he will consume of feed. Dainty feeders are 
nearly always light drinkers The use of water for such 
horses with just enough cream tartar in it to assidulate 
it slightly has been found beneficial. If a horse is in- 
clined to drink too much put only as much in the bucket 
as you want him to drink at one time. Other horses 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 9 

want a pailful set down for them so they can drink it 
unobserved. 

In checking a horse up you need a check bit inde- 
pendent of the driving bit. Some horses will check 
with an old-fashioned check rein and check bit with the 
gag runners sewed or hooked high on the crown piece of 
the headstall, but nearly all the trotters and pacers are 
checked with an overdraw check running over the top of 
the head and buckling into the small check bit. You 
want a set of bandages, a couple of scrapers and plenty 
of rubbers made from linen salt sacks; you want a dozen 
for each horse ; you want a couple of soaking tubs ; take a 
kerosene oil barrel and saw off each end with a depth of 
six or eight inches, fit some boards inside of the chime 
and screw them to the head, so your horse will not push 
the bottom out when he steps his weight onto them. 
Wire spring skewers are essential ; and you also want a 
good muzzle, but be careful how you use it. You will 
need a rubbing out headstall, merely a strap over the top 
of the head, each end buckling into the ring of a bit ; 
you want a foot and a tooth rasp, and numerous other ar- 
ticles as your wants will suggest. Toe weights are very 
useful in some instances, and occasionally indispensable, 
but never use a weight that you have to fasten to the 
foot with screws screwed into the horn. I have seen in- 
flammation set up in the foot from the screws pressing into 
the laminae of the foot, and severe lameness result from 
their use. 

TEETH. 

The teeth in horses are receiving more attention than 
formerly, as it is a well settled fact that their teeth are 
subject to decay, ulceration, irregular growth etc., same 
as in the human family, though not perhaps, in the same 
degree. A horse in his three or four year old forms is 
most liable to suffer, as the three-year-old cuts four 
front teeth and eight back teeth, and in their fourth year 
they cut four front, eight back, and four tushes, and con- 
siderable irritation and fever often attend the cutting of 
these teeth. 



10 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

Attention should be directed to the shedding of the 
molars in the three-year-old, the roots becoming absorbed, 
the crowns of the teeth get loose and hang to the gums, 
and should be removed as they will cut the cheek and 
make the mouth sore. Many horses I am satisfied suffer 
from toothache with decayed teeth, and when a decayed 
tooth is discovered it ought to be removed immediately, 
upon its first attempt to ache. The presence of decayed 
teeth may be detected by such symptoms, as improperly 
masticated food passing the bowels undigested, tossing 
the head, discharge from one nostril, irritable disposition 
pulling or driving on one rein, and pulling at the bit or 
refusal to take hold of the bit. The remedy for de- 
cayed teeth is removal. You will need the assist- 
ance of some one skilled in Veterinary dentistry, to re- 
move a decayed molar tooth The upper jaw being 
wider than the under one, the outer margin of the upper 
grinders become sharp, and unless this over-growth is 
removed with a tooth-rasp, the cheek, coming in contact 
with the sharp edges of the grinders, gets sore, and check- 
ing a horse aggravates him, as it presses the cheek against 
the teeth with greater force. The inside margins of the 
lower grinders get sharp in the same way, and hurt the 
tongue, and no horse can be made to trot or pace fast, 
that has teeth that hurt or aggravate him, and as a trainer, 
you should always keep a tooth-rasp handy, they cost lit- 
tle, and you can remove the sharp edges of teeth as well 
as any one, but for the extraction of a grinder, you had 
better employ a Veterinary dentist, as it is quite an under- 
taking. The reason a horse cannot go fast with teeth 
•that hurt him is, that if he carries his head one sided, as 
he will invariably do if he is driving on one rein, he can't 
go square, and is bound to tangle in his gait, and of 
course cannot speed fast. I have seen horses in a race 
in scoring, that carried their heads one sided, and pulled 
on -one rein ; these horses were suffering from imperfect 
teeth or effects of same. These horses knowing how to 
go, would finally take hold of the bit and go fast, but this 
was game in its triumph over infirmity, the horse having 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 11 

acquired the proper way of going, in his course of train- 
ing, and possessing the spirit to do or die, he takes hold of 
the bit, though it may be ever so painful, and tries to get 
there. Horses possessing this valuable inheritance, 
known as game, ( which is by the way imparted from one 
generation to the othei ), are very dangerous competitors 
in a race. 



12 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 



CHAPTER III. 

CLOTHING, HARNESS, BITS, ETC. 

There are different opinions about blankets and cover- 
ing for horses in the stable. I don't believe a horse 
needs anything more than to make him comfortable. No 
horse ought to sweat under the blankets in the stable, 
and he should be provided with changes, so he can be 
made comfortable in any change of the temperature. In 
winter, if he is clipped, he must be provided with extra 
clothing, unless the stable is heated artificially, and for 
out door use the blanket for clipped horses should be 
large enough to cover them well down toward their feet, 
and the shed ought to be a very warm one, or they ought 
not to be left under it at all if it is a cold day. A single 
strap rubber trimmed harness with a good, substantial, 
three inch saddle and flat lines, all made from MarTot's 
leather, is good enough for anybody and looks as well as 
any harness that was ever made. Horses ordinarily act 
as well in a headstall with winkers as any, although some 
flighty, nervous horses, and shyers, act better in an open 
bridle. Experiment will teach you which kind of head- 
stall to adopt. There are a thousand styles of bits, but 
the ordinary jointed bit, known as the Dexter trotting 
snaffle, is as good as any. Some horses act better with 
a plain bar bit than any other, but use the one your 
horses appear to like best. Don't make a puller of him 
by driving him on a bit he is continually fighting against. 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 13 



CHAPTER IV. 

OBJECT OF WORKING HORSES WORK FOR AGED HORSES. 

It is important for the amateur to understand why he 
is working his horse. What is the object of it? Why, 
to develop his speed, of course. But not one man in ten 
can give you an intelligent answer to your questions as 
why do you do so and so. Now no horse can go any 
faster than he has got power to carry him. If the speed 
is not in him, no man can make him show it. 

Speed is the physical capacity or power to get over 
the ground at a rapid rate. A horse may have appa- 
rently the physical capacity to go fast, but does not and 
can not; he maybe proportioned correctly and fill all 
the dimensions of the tape line trotter and lookYike a trot- 
ter, but can't go on — and here is where those knowing 
men get left in trying to pick out a trotter with a tape 
line and references to the stud books. A horse without 
the inborn disposition to go on and get there is no good, 
no matter how he is bred, how he is formed, or how he 
is gaited. You get him in a tight place where it is nec- 
essary for him to extend himself and he will shut up like 
a jack knife, and quit without any apparent reason, only 
that he don't seem to want to do it. If a horse is strong 
and has the disposition to go on, if he is not quite per- 
fectly gaited, he will oftener surprise you by his rapid 
improvement than would a finely gaited one, and just as 
strong and sound, that don't care whether he gets there 
or not. 

We will assume that you have got a horse sound and 
five years old, that has a gait that is pure enough to carry 
him a mile in 2:30, when in condition to go a mile ; and 
this horse has never had an attempt made to develop the 
speed he is supposed to possess. We will also assume 
that it is early spring, the roads are in condition to 



14 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

drive upon, and you are situated so you can give this 
horse all the attention he needs to develop the latent 
speed he is expected in the near future to exhibit. I will 
say a few words respecting the quarters you give the horse 
to occupy. A box stall twelve by fourteen feet, with a 
plank floor not too tight to prevent the urine from run- 
ning through, will answer, and the floor should be far 
enough from the ground not to be damp. Arrangements 
should be made to properly drain the grounds in the 
vicinity of barns and stabling, as horses are, in my judg- 
ment, susceptible to malarial disorders, as well as the 
human family. I do not like an underground barn with 
stalls for horses over the basement, as there is always a 
draft through any aperture there may be in the floor, and 
horses' feet dry up when kept in such a place, and require 
a great deal of attention. A clay or earth floor is not 
desirable for horses doing fast work and sweating consid- 
erably, as they are liable to contract colds, coughs and 
rheumatic troubles from lying on these ground floors with 
nothing but straw between them and the earth. Don't 
let your horse lie on the ground if you are working him 
for speed. 

It is understood by you, of course, that proper venti- 
lation is desirable, as is also light. The windows for 
ventilating the stable should be about six feet from the 
floor, so that any draft through these windows will not 
strike the horse. We will suppose this horse as yet has 
not shown any disposition to interfere or cut himself any- 
where ; this being the case, you have not got to worry 
yourself about the shoeing, a very great relief, I assure 
you. Now you want to make a firm resolve not to speed 
this horse, either for your own or any other person's grat- 
ification or amusement, until he has had some work 
and got strong, and has learned something about going 
along — if you expect to make a trotter out of him. Walk- 
ing exercise has been found not absolutely necessary, as 
formerly indulged in. Old time trainers used to begin 
by giving horses walking exercise in the spring tor two or 
three weeks before they even thought of driving them in 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 15 

harness; but I believe that a horse is safer in the hands 
of the trainer, hooked to a light wagon or sulky, than he 
is in the care of a boy doing his walking work out of 
sight of the barn. You may commence by jogging and 
walking a little, say five or six miles (in the forenoon is the 
best time) for the first week or ten days. Ten quarts of oats 
in three feeds, of four quarts in the morning, two at noon, 
and four again at night, with some hay, ought to be enough 
for him, and you ought to see him begin to improve in 
the way he does his work as well as in appearance. By 
this time he will be in shape to send along a little, and 
you ought to increase his work a little, and likewise the 
amount of oats, say to twelve quarts per day ; but if you 
observe that he don't like the increased amount of work, 
wait a week more. By this time the muscles must have 
tone enough in them to carry him along on a good road 
a ten-mile-an-hour clip, for four or five miles, without 
much apparent fatigue. But don't begin to brush him 
yet; he wants to be able to jog his ten miles out in an 
hour easy before you commence to call on him. If he is 
the horse we think he is, he will soon commence to do his 
brushing himself. And here is where you want to use 
judgment; right here is where one-half the good horses 
are ruined. If he now commences to take hold of the bit 
and go away at a rapid clip, steady him carefully, and 
take him back before he commences to tangle or tire. 
The chances are at this time, if you let him go on and 
trot over himself and go into a break, he will hit himself 
somewhere, and it will set him back in his training weeks, 
and perhaps spoil him. Don't let him go to a break; 
trotters nowadays don't leave their feet often when they 
beat 2:20 , they don't have time. 



16 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 



CHAPTER V. 

SHOEING, BOOTS, CARE AFTER WORK, ETC. 

Up to this time, perhaps, you have seen no occasion to 
change his shoeing, except to have them removed and re- 
set, which ought to be done once in three weeks at the 
longest. You now want to observe closely how he carries 
his legs, and if he is brushing himself anywhere. Young 
horses often exhibit a propensity to shove the hind foot 
under the front foot and brush the hoof up at the coro- 
net, which is called " scalping." If your horse does this, 
get a pair of scalping boots the first thing you do, and 
wear them on him in this work. Horses do this scalping 
while jogging, but it gets them into the habit of single 
footing, and when they get this habit it takes a long 
time to restore their confidence so they will go square 
again. All horses, or nearly all that can go fast, go with 
their hind feet outside of their forward ones. You also 
want to observe if this horse brushes his hind pasterns 
with the outside of the shoes of the front feet ; this is 
called speedy cutting. If your horse, in your judgment, 
can show indications of a three minute clip or better, 
look out for this speedy cutting business. If you are 
working him on a half mile track he will probably brush 
himself here while making the turns, which will have the 
effect to scare him and make him unsteady and break. 
Now if your horse ever goes to a break when he is mov- 
ing within his speed, he has hit himself somewhere, and 
you should get right out and see about it at once. 
If, upon examination, you find he has hit himself, don't 
start him up again until he is protected. If he is shod 
all right don't expect to remedy the difficulty by chang- 
ing shoes unless the trouble is apparent. Clinches some 
times work out by the head of the nail striking a 
stone and driving it up: to avoid this have the shoer 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 17 

file the heads of the nails down even with the shoe, 
then the clinches will not work out to bother you. 
And here is something I want you to recollect about 
shoeing for interfering or knee knocking. Don't ever 
take any portion of the wall of the foot away in any case. 
All you take off the inside of the feet just so much nearer 
together the horse's feet will be whether in motion or 
standing, and you spoil the shape of the foot and weaken 
it. Horses sometimes interfere and hit themselves with- 
out any fault of the shoer. Perhaps the animal has not 
learned to travel, is weak, or a dozen other causes no 
blacksmith is responsible for. 

In bringing your horse in from a drive after he has 
acquired some strength, let him come home in shape, so 
you can scrape a little sweat out of him after he has 
stood with a woolen sheet on him a few minutes, or while 
you are hanging up his harness. If he breaks out in 
perspiration strip off the sheet and scrape him out as dry 
as possible and throw the sheet over his back and loins, 
and commence and rub out his head and ears and neck, 
and finally his whole body Don't put him in the stall 
until he is cooled off, so he will not break out again. It 
may take three-quarters of an hour, probably; you need 
not rub all the time. Pin the sheet on him and walk 
him around in the sun and out of a draft, and before you 
get done with him wash out his feet clean and brush him 
all over; brush out his mane and foretop and tail, but 
don't tear out any hair. If it is time to feed now, give 
him a suck of water and his dinner, and go and get your 
own. The best rubbers I have ever seen are Ashton salt 
sacks cut into four pieces. Always have plenty of clean, 
dry rubbers on hand; you can't dry out a horse with a 
dirty, damp rubber. There is considerable work about 
training one horse if you do all the work yourself. But 
your ingenuity will devise some way to get along with 
the work. I have never seen a man yet who liked to ride 
behind a good horse and do the driving, but who would 
manage some way to have some body around the barn 
when he got back to help do up the trotter. 



18 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

Don't be afraid to give your horse some grass. Let 
him pick it himself in the latter part of the afternoon if 
you work him in the forenoon, and if he at any time is 
constipated give him a big bran mash at night with some 
salt in it. Keep his bowels open unless he is of a washy 
constitution and inclined to scour; you must use judg- 
ment. A horse that scours (or in other words exhibits 
an unnatural looseness of the bowels) is out of shape 
some where, and is probably the result of indigestion or 
derangement of the stomach and bowels. If you live 
near a good veterinary surgeon, consult him ; it will be 
cheaper in the end- However, I have corrected this 
trouble more than once by giving a tablespoonful of 
powdered charcoal three times a day in the feed. 

The feet and legs must be looked after now; don't 
soak your horse out too much in hot or any other water, 
because you have seen some other trainer do it. It 
might have been necessary in the case, of an old ringer 
that had to be scalded every day to keep him on earth. 
Jack Phillips has probably won more races with hot 
water than any other man in this country. He knows 
when to use it. If you don't detect any fever in the 
legs, or inclination to swell over night, your horse is all 
right, and a good walk in the grass in the morning when 
the dew is on is as good a poultice as the feet can have. 
Don't oil or anoint the feet, or stuff them, if they don't 
need it. Blue clay or moss wet in water is the best stuff- 
ing, and oils are a detriment, I think.

CHAPTER VI. 

FASTER WORK, REPEATS, ETC. 

About four weeks must have elapsed by this time, and 
you can now begin to call on the horse for a brush occa- 
sionally in his work. Don't brush him over a quarter 
yet at a time, and not too often, and never up to the full 
measure of his speed. Some horses will take more work 
than others, but an ordinary well-bred horse ought to jog 
out ten or twelve miles a day to a wagon in about an 
hour without falling off any in appearance, condition or 
feelings. After you commence to brush the horse along 
in his daily work, your judgment ought to guide you as 
to whether you are overworking him or not. 

I suppose you think you ought to give him a big scrape 
now. Perhaps it is not necessary ; a neck sweat and 
hood may reduce the throat and neck enough, and per- 
haps he don't want any scrape of the body more than he 
gets every day in his work yet a while. I will, further 
on in the work, give you a scientific explanation of a 
scrape, how to do it and what to do it for. It is about 
time this horse had a half mile trial. If you have any 
suspicion he will hit his knees, protect him. The night 
before you give him the trial, give him about half the 
amount of hay he ordinarily has and about two-thirds 
the usual quantity of water; in the morning give him two 
quarts of oats at the usual time of feeding (we assume 
you have been giving him his breakfast in one feed up to 
this time) and no hay of any account. Give him a couple 
or quarts of water when you go to the stable in the 
morning, and after he has eaten his oats and a very little 
hay let him have two or three swallows more. Hook 
him up about ten o'clock, the food having had time to 
assimilate, and jog him out five miles ; then give him a 
swallow of water, and give him a half mile, commencing 



20 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

to call on him as you approach the half mile pole and 
send him for all he is worth till you get to the win, with- 
out letting him leave his feet. Have some friend you 
can rely on to hold the watch that can catch the time 
correctly, and that won't lie to you. If your horse has 
shown a half in 1:25, you have got a quite promising 
young horse that has only been worked four weeks. This 
is a 50 clip, and lots of them can't do it that have been 
worked all summer. Now jog your horse to the stable 
and do him up in good shape. The first thing you do, 
put a set of linen bandages wet in warm water on his 
legs, all round, and let them stay on till they get dry or 
the horse has cooled out, then take them off, hand rub 
the legs a little, and if you don't see any swelling or heat 
in the legs they are all right and he has done well. Work 
him now just the same as you have all along; in a week 
give him a trial a mile out. If he has improved he ought 
to show you a mile in 2:45. ^ ne should chance to be 
one of those phenomenal trotters of the period, he might 
go so fast your hair would turn gray in the mile. Soberly 
speaking, the speed shown at the present day by horses 
with comparatively little training, and in the hands of 
amateurs in some cases, is truly marvelous. They break 
out at different places, hundreds of miles apart, but al- 
most without exception upon investigation it is discov- 
ered that these horses are bred to go fast and stay the 
distance. You will, by observing how your horse finishes 
his first mile, be able to determine to a great extent 
what kind of a horse you have. If he finishes his mile 
as though he had another mile in him, and trots the last 
half a couple of seconds the fastest, and does not show 
much distress in breathing, and his legs tremble but 
slightly if any, you may conclude you have got quite a 
horse, providing, of course, he has done his mile in as 
good time as you have reason to expect of him. You 
ought not to have driven him to a break in either of these 
trials. He had better have a little speed left in him than 
to have gone to a break. In ten days, if he is improving, 
give him another trial, a mile and repeat. Don't try to 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 21 

drive all the speed out of him the first heat, and if he acts 
as though he had plenty more in him, give him the sec- 
ond mile with an interval of twenty minutes or half an 
hour between the heats. As soon as you have finished 
the first heat, unhook him from the sulky, pull off his 
harness and throw a sheet on him ; give him two or three 
swallows of water, and in three or four minutes, while 
you are walking him around, he will break out in a pro- 
fuse perspiration. (Don't get in a draft with him.) Com- 
mence and scrape out his neck and shoulders and finally 
his whole body; have a couple of boys who can help rub 
him up, and in course of twenty minutes he will be suffi- 
ciently recovered to harness again and prepare for the 
next heat. If he has worn any boots in the first trial, 
remove them as soon as he is unharnessed and see that 
they have not chafed him, and put them back on the last 
thing before you hitch him in the sulky for the last heat. 
Jog him a mile or two, and, remember, always to jog 
your horses the reverse way of the track, and if any other 
party is driving the right way of the track and you meet 
them, give them the pole, or pass to the left, they pass- 
ing you on your right. In working a horse the reverse 
way of the track, and only turning him when you want to 
speed him, he acquires the habit of getting away rapidly. 
A very important thing for a trotter to know is how to 
score well ; it frequently wins a race. Up to this time, 
I have counciled extreme caution, which every trainer 
will tell you is safer that to rush business. 



HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 



CHAPTER VII. 

SWEATING SCRAPES, THEIR EFFECT AND REASONS FOR. 

I have promised to give you a chapter on sweating, and 
I will quote from that eminent authority on the subject, 
Joseph Cam Simpson : 

The natural outlets of the body are the skin, bowels 
and kidneys. With their aid we get rid of what the old 
trainers called the waste and spare. We can increase 
the action of them all by articles given as food or medi- 
cine. The evacuations through the numerous pores of 
the skin are what we call sweating, the effects of which — 
when properly used — being to bring a horse into such a 
state, called condition, that he can do without injury, 
what would be an impossibility for him to perform with- 
out its aid. 1 have signified my objections to stimulating 
the bowels and kidneys by cathartics and diuretics as 
aids of training, and I must necessarily show that condi- 
tion can be acquired without their help. Sweating has 
two distinct things to perform : the first, to give freedom 
to the respiratory organs and the action of the heart, which 
we may call internal relief; the second, to promote the 
strength and activity of the muscles and lighten the load 
to be carried, which, with the same propriety, may be 
termed external relief. The organs of respiration are the 
lungs, bronchial tubes, trachea or wind-pipe, glottis or 
valve, at the extremity of the trachea, nasal passages 
and nostrils. It requires study to understand the work- 
ings of the organs of circulation and breathing, and 
I must confess that I am not capable of understanding 
any of the treatises that I have read on the subject suffi- 
ciently to explain them, or to make them as intelligible to 
you as they are to me, though the deductions drawn from 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 23 

the statements I am going to make I know to be correct. 
They have been demonstrated by my practice, and since 
I have followed my present plan of sweating I have never 
had a horse become baked or feverish, which was fre- 
quently the case when I sweated them without thinking 
of the causes why it should be done, or was aware of the 
results that might be expected to follow. 

The action of the heart is so closely identified with the 
lungs that both have to be taken into consideration. 
Quicken the motion of the one and you accelerate the 
other, but not in the same proportion. For instance, 
when a horse is breathing tranquilly the respirations 
are from four to eight in a minute, and the pulsations 
thirty-six to forty. As you increase the motion of the 
lungs by fast work, the respirations will be multiplied 
till the ratio will be as one to two, possibly two to 
three. Suppose that, in driving your horse, you keep up 
the rate of speed until he becomes distressed ; the respi- 
rations would probably be forty to forty-five times in a 
minute, with the pulsations at seventy-five to eighty. 
The inspirations at times would be a good deal longer 
than the expirations, frequently sighing and " blowing 
out " suddenly. This arises from the amount of adipose 
matter interfering with the heart and lungs, restricting 
the first and enfeebling the others, and it would be along 
time before he would recover and the circulation and 
breathing be restored to their natural condition. You 
get rid of the superfluities, and drive him until he exhibits 
great fatigue, having gone perhaps two or three miles, the 
respirations have increased to two-thirds that of the heart. 
Still the expirations and inspirations are nearly equal, and 
there is very little if any sighing. He blows out freely 
and forcibly, recovering the natural breathing in much 
less time than before. In the first case he would have 
been " dead beat ; " in the second, by taking a pull he 
would " come again " and make another struggle. This 
shows that rapid respiration and arterial action can be 
kept up if the organs are in a proper state. The main 
muscle acting on the lungs and assisting in respiration is 



24 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

the diaphragm. In forcible expiration the abdominal 
muscles act with great power. It will be useless to take 
much time to show that if an excessive deposit of fat 
exists their aid will be much diminished. Fat within the 
chest is laid in layers beneath the serous coating, and 
about the base of the heart. It materially affects the 
breathing by encroaching on the pulmonary chamber, 
and interfering with the expansion of the lungs, so that 
the minute air cells can not be filled to the extent of their 
capacity as they can when freed from this obstruction. 
If the heart is healthy, there is room within the pericar- 
dium for all its motions, contraction and expansion not 
being greatly restricted by the outside coating of fat. 
But this coating does affect the equalization or rythm 
of the pulsations when the action is hurried, so it 
becomes necessary to remove the obstruction here as 
elsewhere. The change in the blood, from the time it 
leaves the heart by the arteries till it is returned by the 
veins, after having been aerated in the lungs, is a won- 
derful provision of nature for it to obtain properties from 
the atmosphere essential to the existence of life. 

The passage of the blood to the extremities of the 
vessels that convey it, is accompanied in sweating by 
another phenomenon, viz: the forcing the moisture 
through the pores of the skin, which we call sweat. In 
the evacuations from the bowels and kidneys there is 
never a particle of fat, and the emaciation following purg- 
ing or excessive stalling is not due to fat being carried 
from the body directly, but to causes resulting therefrom. 
In exudation, however, the oily part of the blood is got 
rid of as well as the watery fluid that accompanies it. 
You will perceive, when a horse takes his first sweats, the 
moisture is of a thick, unctious nature, forming a lather 
like soap when it meets with friction from the clothes or 
harness. As the horse's body becomes freed from impur- 
ities, the sweat becomes thinner and cleaner, finally hav- 
ing the appearance ot clean water as it trickles down his 
legs. The skin, then appears to be the most direct way 
of getting rid of the fat, and not only the most direct but 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 25 

the most natural. The fat, in the first place, being depos- 
ited by the blood, the loss of the oily portion in sweating 
is replaced by the absorbants working on the surplus in 
store, removing it from where the original deposit was 
made, and, as the sweatings are continued, exhausting all 
that we desire to get rid of. There are other changes, 
probably, that take place in the blood, one being a greater 
fluidity, perhaps occasioned by an increase of heat. It 
would appear that the abstraction of the watery particles 
would have a contrary effect, yet I am satisfied that this 
is counteracted by an opposing force, which I cannot 
explain, rendering the arteries and veins less liable to 
engorgement than when the circulating fluid had proper- 
ties which made it more difficult to propel through them. 
From the relief afforded by copious and repeated sweat- 
ings, we might infer that the abstraction of the fatty 
globules in the blood was the means of lessening the 
labor of the heart, which is of the greatest importance 
when the blood is sent bounding along more than twice 
as fast as when the animal is at rest. The theory that the 
pulsation keeps time to the step is, I believe, correct when 
the action is much hurried. Hence, when a horse is mak- 
ing a fraction more than two bounds in a second, the work 
of the heart is greatly increased, and the labor of that 
vital force-pump would be much lessened by the blood 
being easier to urge through the tubing of the veins as 
fast as the accelerated pace required that it should be. 
It will be readily seen that nearly all the inside fat will 
have to be got away before the respiratory organs are 
capable of performing their functions in a manner that 
will endure fast work. The heart is also facilitated in its 
operations by the removal, and the diaphragm and abdom- 
inal muscles can act with far greater force. The whole 
internal economy is in a measure changed, the muscles 
of the stomach are strengthened, and digestion is better 
and more rapid. The gastric juices are more intimately 
blended with the contents of the stomach, and the waste 
for the bowels to carry off is less acrid and easier expelled. 
We will also find that the same process will get rid of the 



26 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

external fat, and while the load is lightened for the horse 
to carry, and the muscular system is brought to a higher 
state of vigor, it also assists in the expansion of the chest. 
The intercostal muscles, or the muscles between the ribs, 
have a good deal to do with respiration, and the reduction 
of the neck removes the unnecessary load of fat which 
surrounds the wind-pipe, giving more room for it to con- 
vey the air to the bronchial tubes, and through them to 
the lungs. I have just said that the same process gets 
rid of fat whenever it is deposited either among the inter- 
nal vicera or where it surrounds the muscles. This is so, 
yet we can so modify it in practice that the effect will be 
greater in absorbing the interior than the exterior deposit. 
Thus you will frequently see an animal in racing condi- 
tion with a fair covering of hard flesh over the general 
exterior of the body. Till we remove from the lungs and 
heart the adipose deposit that hinders their working, we 
cannot give exercise to be of much benefit to the muscles 
of locomotion. The first sweats, then, will have to be 
given independent of speed, which these organs are yet 
unable to endure. The questions attending sweating for 
the outward formation are not so complicated. The 
muscles are masses of elastic fibers, terminated by the 
tendons on which they act by contraction and relaxation. 
Thus, while one set exert their force in one direction 
by contraction, the opposite are lengthened so not to 
interfere with the power applied. Some run parallel with 
the tendons, others cross these in an oblique direction, 
and still others at nearly right angles from the first. The 
fat is deposited where they overlap each other, filling up 
the interstices and giving prominence to the muscles by 
pushing the outside one out. In a very fat horse there is 
a further deposit of adipose matter between the skin and 
body, sometimes covering the muscles of the ribs to quite 
a depth. This is entirely useless, while that in the inter- 
stices has a duty to perform of great importance, viz.: 
lubricating the fibers so that the friction at the points of 
attrition is much lessened. The muscles become harder 
and more tendonous as they are made to perform active 
duty. This change takes place as the result of exercise, 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 27 

as does not the removal of fat, when that removal is 
dependent on other agencies than muscular exertion. 
Exercise is the only means of effecting this change of the 
muscular system, and the amount of work best adapted 
to effect this end is varied in almost every animal that has 
to undergo the conditioning process. As the fat is wasted, 
there ought to be a proportional increase of muscle, and 
which will invariably ensue if the training has been prop- 
erly attended to. 

Sweating under clothes has also a local effect. This 
is an advantage which no other system of depletion can 
boast of, and the benefits of which can hardly be over 
estimated. If it were otherwise, we would be compelled 
to bring one part of the horse's body much lower than we 
would like it in order that some other part might be in a 
condition to stand the requirements of fast work. 

There is nothing like the danger of over -sweating the 
neck that there is in the chest, which will bear a great 
deal of reduction. We may reduce the muscles that 
cover the shoulder-blade too much, but the intercostal 
and abdominal muscles will bear some reduction if it is 
necessary to get rid of any fat in the immediate vicinity. 
There is a vast difference between young and matured 
horses, both as to the necessity and effects of sweating, 
and the treatment given some aged horses would ruin a 
colt. The reason is, that young horses are not so fat in- 
side as older ones, and reducing them inside would be 
accompanied by the wasting of the muscles. Till colts 
can go fast enough to tire themselves, there is ordinarily 
no necessity for sweating them under clothes more than 
enough to cleanse the skin. They will sweat enough in 
their work to answer all purposes. 

THE SWEAT. 

The night before you sweat your horse, give him a 
bran mash in lieu of his regular feed of grain, and only 
half the ordinary allowance of water, and half his usual 
allowance of hay, and if a gross feeder muzzle him. In 
the morning, give him not over two quarts of oats when 



28 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

you feed your other horses, and no water, and as soon as 
he has eaten the grain muzzle him, groom him as usual, 
and about eight o'clock give him a walk for half an hour. 
By the time he has been walked the bran mash will have 
performed its office, and he will be emptied out and 
ready to prepare for the sweat. Take him into the sta- 
ble, take a long, soft woolen blanket and double it to- 
gether so it will be full length and half the width, throw 
it over his back and bring the end under his belly; be 
careful to have it straight and free from wrinkles — it 
ought to lap a foot or more — fasten it with safety skew- 
ers, or, what is better, four strings sewed onto the side of 
the blanket a little below where it crosses the back bone, 
and the same number on the end that you bring between 
the fore and hind legs ; then it can be fastened without 
any danger of wounding the skin. Take a little lighter 
blanket and double it in the same way, and fold it as 
many times around the neck, enveloping it from the 
shoulders to the ears ; now take another blanket, but 
smaller, and cover the horse all over with it, tying it 
under the tail and around the breast. A hood large 
enough to cover the shoulders, without ear pieces. A 
Kersey suit over this, buckled at the flank ; hood with 
ear pieces, and his costume is complete. Let out your 
harness to accommodate the extra amount of clothing, 
and hitch him into the sulky. (Have a drink made for 
him of oat meal and water, which make a little above 
blood heat by adding hot water.) Walk him and jog a 
couple of miles, when the perspiration will begin to start 
some, and you can give him a drink of the warm gruel, 
a few swallows (two or three), which will facilitate the 
flow. Then give him a couple of miles more jogging, 
fast enough to start the moisture, and go to the stable, 
unhitch him, but throw immediately onto him a couple 
of extra blankets to retain all the heat. He will labor in 
breathing, but give him another swallow of the warm 
drink, when the perspiration will begin to run down his 
legs and ooze through the blankets. Don't be alarmed 
at the profuse flow ; you will see that he doesn't breathe 
as hard as before, and the arteries will become more 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 29 

elastic and the pulsations less rapid. Have your scrapers 
and rubbers ready, unbuckle the hood and outside blanket, 
throw the hood across his loin and turn back the clothes so 
as to expose his chest, throw the neck wrapper to one side 
and scrape him out carefully. Have help enough to rub him 
gently around the head and ears while you, after cover- 
ing the neck and chest, scrape his back, sides and quar- 
ters ; be careful not to irritate him. His neck will now 
scrape again ; go all over him again, and then throw off 
all the wet clothes; rub him briskly, but gently, all over 
with dry, clean rubbers, and get some dry, clean clothes 
—blanket and hood — and smooth his hair down the right 
way, put on the blanket and hood and put a light blanket 
over this, outside the tail, and have him walked for fif- 
teen minutes, when you can finish doing him up by dry- 
ing him up slowly, occasionally removing the clothes and 
substituting lighter ones all the time. Wash his feet and 
get the tubs and put his feet into them, and wash his legs 
from the knees and hocks down with warm water. When 
this is done, dip the bandages in hot water and do up his 
legs from the knee and hock to the coronet. Fix up his 
bedding, give him two quarts of drink previously prepared 
by putting a tablespoonful of pure cream tartar into ten 
quarts of water, which is all he ought to have until the 
next morning. Pour out about two quarts of the asced- 
ulated drink at a time, so not to tantalize him by showing 
him more water than you want him to drink at one time. 
Give him two quarts of oats and three or four pounds of 
hay, and when he has eaten it, muzzle him, and leave 
him undisturbed till the next feed. The object of re- 
stricting him in the amount of water, is that the absorb- 
ents will take hold of the fat, which they would not do if 
you give him an unlimited supply of fluids. A good 
clear warm day should always be taken advantage of to 
give a horse a sweat, and you should be careful not to 
get into a draft of air in the cooling out process. His 
next feed will be his regular evening meal of oats and 
hay, which ought to be curtailed about one-third in 
amount, but the morning following feed him as usual, 
and give water likewise.

CHAPTER VIII. 

TREATMENT AFTER THE SWEAT. 

Hitch up your horse the morning after his sweat and 
jog him three or four miles slowly, but don't give him 
any fast work until the day after. If you have not over- 
done the sweating, your horse will act and step out as 
light as a feather, and his eye will be clear and bright. 
You can't fail to see if your horse don't feel as well as 
common. You will, the second day after the sweat, give 
him some fast work, but not up to his limit of speed, as 
this should never be done except in a trial, and I don't 
think half mile trials amount to much, only to teach 
the horse to quit after he has gone to the half mile pole. 
In the early part of the horse's preparation a half mile 
heat is well enough to gauge the speed he has, but I 
would not persist in half mile trials. I will say a little 
more about walking. In the early part of the horse's 
training, walking exercise in the morning should be given 
when the dew is on the grass, and walk him so he can 
have the benefit of it on his legs and feet. A walk to- 
wards evening of an hour, with the privilege of picking 
grass, will be enjoyed by the animal and his appetite and 
constitution benefited. In training horses a man must 
get up in the morning. A horse in training ought to be 
fed at five o'clock in the morning, after having a few swal- 
lows of water, two quarts of oats, his bed shaken up and 
stall cleaned of manure and wet straw. After you have 
had your breakfast, clean his coat and feet and give him 
a little walk in the dew, hitch him into the sulky and 
give him his work, after which he can be fed two quarts 
more oats and some hay, and watered. Now fix up his 
bed and leave him to himself till three o'clock in the af- 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 31 

ternoon, when you can feed him two quarts more oats r 
and when they are eaten give him some more water, after 
which you can give him his afternoon or evening walk, 
when is your opportunity to let him eat some grass, and 
after he has been returned to the stable, hand rub his 
legs a little, see if he has cuffed himself anywhere, pick 
and wash out his feet, have his bed fixed up a little and 
return him to his stall till seven o'clock, when you can 
give him his feed of four quarts of oats and his full al- 
lowance of water, and what hay he needs. Some horses 
need a little corn to keep up their flesh and stamina, and 
some very ravenous feeders, by mixing a little shelled 
corn in the oats, will be compelled to eat slower and mas- 
ticate the grain properly. You ought always to have on 
hand, ears of corn, good, sound oats and wheat bran, the 
coarser and lighter in weight to the bushel the better, to- 
be used for bran mashes. You want salt handy, also.

CHAPTER IX. 

WATCHFULNESS NOW THE ORDER OF THE DAY. 

Your trotter now being on the high road to the object 
of your ambition, viz, to beat 2:30, you want to see that 
he gains in speed and style of going, and if you are train- 
ing in the vicinity of a track you will have opportunities 
to see how he likes company, and you should try and 
get him used to it. You want to take care he doesn't take 
on too much flesh, if he is a hardy horse, and also you 
don't want to over-work him. By reference to the article 
on sweating, you will learn by noticing the inspirations 
and expirations of air to and from his lungs when pulled 
up after fast work, and how he does it ; how he is pro- 
gressing in his training in respect to his internal organs. 
If he '* blows out " forcibly after fast work and fatiguing 
exercise, and recovers rapidly, it is fair to assume that he 
is doing well. As a horse approaches racing condition, 
the quicker and more completely does he recover from 
exhaustion in a short space of time. Your judgment 
must continually guide you now ; once a week is often 
enough, ordinarily, lor a horse to have fast work. You 
had better save him some and let him trot himself into 
condition than to have him right on edge the first race 
you start in. 

If you contemplate giving your horse only one race 
and then laying him out of work, that is a different affair 
from trotting through half a dozen meetings, and in 
that case should be on edge if you expect him to distin- 
guish himself, for it is exceedingly rare for a green horse 
and a green driver to win their first race, unless they lay 
over the rest of the entries in speed by several seconds, 
and then, if you have the most speed, some man may out 
drive you. 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 33 

But your horse should have five repeats before you 
start him to win a race, and one of them should be of 
three heats; the others just mile and repeat. But never 
give your horse a repeat within five days of a race, or 
after you start into a campaign. If he trots one race 
each week, he will not need any repeating, and, while I 
think of it, I wish to state that there is not a horse that 
ever marked the earth that can not be made to quit y by 
overwork. And here is where many horses not possess- 
ing the the stamina afforded by thoroughbred crosses 
have gone wrong, the trainer not having the judgment to 
tell him when to let up in the work. Always work your 
horse in the forenoon, when he can get the benefit of the 
sun. A horse worked only in the cool of the day will 
wilt like a mushroom when started in a race in the heat 
of the afternoon.

CHAPTER X. 

FINANCIAL MATTERS DISCUSSED A LITTLE. 

It takes a smarter man to campaign a trotter or string 
of them and come out in the Fall with enough money to 
pay him for his time, risk and amount of capital invested, 
even if he has a winner to handle, than it does to do any 
other kind of business. You may inquire, how can this 
be; that a man controlling a winner, viz., one that is an 
average horse in his class, and not make anything out of it ? 
It is this way : these men ordinarily beat themselves. 
They get into some job to work the pool box, and the 
first they know they are left. James Wade, formerly 
owner of Red Cloud (now dead), can tell you how it 
works. He entertained the writer last summer one after- 
noon with his experience with a trotter who, by the way, 
was a winner. The business left a lasting impression 
upon Mr. Wade's mind. He went into the campaign in- 
experienced, but he knows all about the business now — 
no little job to let somebody else win will ever capture 
him now — not if he can win. If you are going to 
handle one horse to develop him, you might as well have 
two or three. It would use up more of the time and 
not be so monotonous. You could help pay the ex- 
penses by handling a couple of others besides your own 
horse, and afford to hire a good man to rub and take 
care. When you hire a rubber you had better give him 
double pay and get a good man than to have a bumrner 
do your work for nothing. Good horses cost money and 
are worth money, and no class of property requires as 
faithful, sober men to take care of it as property invested 
in race horses. Still, fifty per cent, of the rubbers in 
charge of good horses representing a large outlay of 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 35 

capital you would not trust to watch a lumber pile. But 
owners are requiring better men than formerly, to do 
work around trotters and pacers, and will not have men 
addicted to drunkenness and dissipation, and it is right. 
You want a man whom you can trust to sleep in the barn, 
and take care of the horses and premises, and back bone 
enough to clean out all bummers and tramps who or- 
dinarily infest training grounds and not have them sleep- 
ing and loafing around the premises at night. 

If it is your first experience try and manage it so you 
can relate during the hours spent around the stove in the 
winter coming, some of your experience in the charmed 
circle, with that feeling of satisfaction which is afforded 
by the fact that you got there.

A FAST TROTTER OR PACER IS ONE THING, BUT A RACE- 
HORSE is another: and nothing makes RACE-HORSES 

BUT RACES. — NECESSITY OF RACES TO THOROUGHLY 
DEVELOP A HORSE AND FIND OUT WHAT THERE IS IN 
HIM. 

You will never be satisfied as to the capacity of your 
horse until you have had him in a race. So you will 
naturally look around and see where you had better enter 
him. You will probably select the three minute and two 
forty classes as the proper place to give him a chance to 
distinguish himself, although there is more danger at the 
present time of getting a record for your horse, that you 
would rather not have in the three minute, than in the 
" two forty class, " as nearly all the fliers make their 
debut in the slower classes. But make your entries 
where you think you will have a fair chance given you to 
win, if you can, and I would select a meeting where the 
track belonged to the National Association, for such or- 
ganizations are responsible, and in case you are not satis- 
fied with the treatment you get, you stand a chance to get 
some satisfaction if you are really in the right, by an ap- 
peal. Make your entry according to the conditions 
published and send the money to pay the entrance fee, 
you will have to pay it any way, and you might as well 
do it first as last. 

If possible get to the track in time to secure good 
stabling for your horses, and get an extra stall for a feed 
room, to put your hay and feed in, as well as the rest of 
your traps. You want above all things a good sulky, 
made by one of the reliable makers, of which there are a 
number, which vary in price from one hundred to a 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 37 

hundred and fifty dollars. A well built fifty or fifty-five 
pound sulky, will carry you around any turn at any rate 
of speed if you know how to sit in it, with perfect safety, 
and will tear down any ordinary buggy if you should run 
into it. These well built sulkies may bend, but very 
rarely break, so patronize a builder of known reputation. 
You want plenty of sheets, woolen and linen. Your 
woolen blankets which are not in use will come in play 
to hang on lines around the stalls to keep the air from 
blowing through the cracks in the stable, as at some 
places you can throw a cat through the cracks. Take 
plenty of rubbers, a couple of lanterns, curry combs, 
brushes, sponges, pails, foot tub, foot picks, boots, 
bandages, and hooks with screw eye and screw staples, 
are very handy to put on doors while you stay, and when 
you pack up take them away again. You want an oat 
seive and a two quart measure, a Marine clock with an 
alarm, a half gallon of leg wash of some kind, Castile 
soap, hammer or hatchet, foot rasp, a pair of pinchers and 
small saw. You can have a chest or large trunk that 
you can pack all these things into except the foot tub. 
You will need .all the articles I have enumerated and 
many more, and it is not a convenient place to borrow 
things at a race track. A couple of camp stools and a 
hammock are articles of convenience and don't take up 
much room. But the most important thing I have 
omitted, and that is money enough to carry you as far as 
you want to go, if you don't win a cent. It contributes 
so largely to a man's peace of mind, and is, I believe, a 
powerful nervine, and will assist you immensely by its 
influence when you get up to drive the race. You will 
meet the %ang when you get there, probably, or some of 
them ; they will size you up right away as a "tenderfoot," 
let them enjoy their convictions, and talk about anything 
but your horses and what you know about the business, 
they will find out all you want them to know, without 
you informing them. After getting located to suit you, 
get plenty of straw, and if your stall has no board or plank 
floor get some boards and put down before you make up 



38 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

the beds, if you have to buy the lumber; then fix up the 
things you have brought in their respective places; you 
want a clothesline to go around the stalls to hang the 
blankets on. You will have no trouble about buying 
what feed you want, nearly all the tracks now furnish 
hay and straw free. If you have shipped by rail (which 
is always the way to move, if you don't go more than 
twenty-five miles, unless you go with the horse yourself), 
don't hook up your horse until the next morning; you 
may give him his regular evening walk and let him get 
all the rest he can. Do not change the feeding time or 
manner of feeding or kind of feed from what you have 
been using all the time, and observe what the character 
of the water is and how it varies from the water at home, 
and govern your actions accordingly. Get a place to 
board as near as possible to your horses, so that you can 
go to your meals and leave your man or men in charge 
of the stable till you gel back ; never leave your horses 
alone, even if you lock the stalls; there is no necessity 
for doing it if you have men you can rely upon, and if 
you have not, get different ones. You are out to make 
a dollar if you can with your horses and you will need to 
attend strictly to business. Don't try to drink up all the 
'* Conversation Water " that comes in your way; that has 
been tried by some very hardy individuals of my ac- 
quaintance, and no man ever lived to accomplish it. In 
short, conduct yourself just as well as though you had 
your wife along with you, and set a good example for 
your men, it will have its effect and accrue to your bene- 
fit invariably.

CHAPTER XII. 

GENERAL VIEWS ABOUT WINNING IF YOU CAN. 

Some men are continually contriving to save a record. 
I never saw one of these men have a horse that could get 
a record that would be fast enough to hurt him. You 
never can win either, by staying behind, you have got to 
get up in front to win. It is a very rare thing for any 
horse to be fast longer than two seasons in succession, 
There are some exceptions to this rule, however, as in- 
stanced in the case of Goldsmith Maid, Dexter, Rarus, 
and Driver, and that is about all I think of now. So if 
you have got the speed and staying qualities, you had 
better make use of them ; you can not tell how long you 
will have either. Horse flesh is a very uncertain com- 
modity. 

A man having a horse in a race and driving him him- 
self, has a great percentage in his favor over any outside 
bettor. He can not help but know whether he can win 
or not, and he will know if there is any " fixing " going 
on. Where a strange field of horses come together, 
every body is at sea when contemplating the relative 
chances of the starters. Occasionally there is a horse 
that cannot win a race, but can brush and speed so fast 
that if the driver is as astute as a number of men I could 
mention, he will be approached by some backer of a 
horse who desires to win the race, and an offer of a divide 
will be made in advance of the start, which arrangement 
is ordinarily effected. It is very amusing to observe the 
tangle these fixers sometimes get themselves into, by 
leaving out of the arrangement the wrong horse, or the 
one that proves to be able to win the race in spite of all 
the ingenuity of the opposition. The pacing race at 



40 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

Chicago, in 1883, where the Missouri pacer, Richball, 
downed them all, when he had been bringing but ten 
dollars in a hundred and twenty in the pools, is an 
instance where the discovery was made too late, and the 
" posted division " met their " Waterloo." 

No business sharpens a man's perceptive faculties like 
managing race horses, or awakens him to the fact that he 
may be operating out of his proper sphere. I never 
could see the odds that we often see one horse bring 
over the " field," when there is a large field of good 
horses to start, and all of them good ones and known to 
be by previous performances nearly matched in point of 
speed and staying qualities. In a race wheie such a field 
of starters show up, I want the short end to begin with, 
for it very frequently occurs that before the race is won, 
the hot favorite is selling in the field, and you can get 
both ends of the race and go out and set down and see 
them fight it out, as you will be ahead whoever wins. A 
man under these circumstances can view the race with a 
calmness that is truly blissful.

CHAPTER XIII. 

TOE WEIGHTS CHANGING THE WAY OF GOING. 

Toe weights have played an important part in devel- 
oping the speed and steadiness in way of going in trot- 
ters, and are of recent discovery, comparatively. As 
near as I can ascertain, they were first used by James 
Wilson, of Rushville, Ind., who was the owner of that 
phenominal sire of trotters, Old Blue Bull, and who now 
leads all others in the number of his get that have ob- 
tained records of 2-30 and better in many a hotly con- 
tested race. Many of Blue Bull's get were either pacing 
or mixed gaited horses, and by the judicious use of toe 
weights, they were easily converted to the trotting gait of 
the purest character, and nearly every converted pacer, 
that possessed a sufficient amount of " hard bottom " 
blood, have proved themselves horses of no ordinary 
capacity in their day and time. But I think many good 
horses have been injured by wearing more weight than 
was absolutely necessary, which has had the effect of 
straining the muscles and tendons, and by injuring the 
feet, by bringing them in contact with the ground with 
greater force than the feet were calculated to stand with- 
out serious results. After a horse has been converted, I 
think the weights should be decreased in ounces gradu- 
ally, to the lowest point possible, and more reliance be 
placed upon skillful driving, to keep the horse level in 
his gait. Many horses that are pure gaited trotters can 
trot faster, and without detriment to themselves, by wear- 
ing a reasonable amount of weight on each fore foot, 
as the weight at the apex of the toe has the effect 
to straigthen out the fore leg when extended, and 
thus gain in length of stride, whereby they can trot 



42 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

the mile out from 2 to 5 seconds faster than they 
could without them. There are a dozen different styles 
of toe weights that have, as. claimed by their respective 
inventors, their advantages, and of their usefulness in 
many cases there is no question, and I might add that 
they are indispensable as part of your outfit as a trotting 
horse trainer. In the development of speed in horses 
that are mixed gaited, by this I mean horses that cannot 
either pace or trot squarely, weights will always have to 
be resorted to, if you desire to square them and save time 
in doing so. The application of a 4 or 6 ounce weight to 
each hind foot, on the outside, has the effect of opening 
their gait behind and thereby improving the way of go- 
ing. 

A trotter that puts one hind foot past his front foot on 
the outside, but carries the other hind foot in line with the 
front one on the same side is something very annoying to a 
trainer. The foot that does not go out where it ought to 
is ordinarily shod with a shoe twice as heavy on the out- 
side as on the inside, and sometimes a side weight is 
used, and there are cases where the reverse has been re- 
sorted to with success This is accounted for by some 
men as sympathetic. The mare Adelaide by Phil Sheri- 
dan, placed one hind foot between her front ones instead 
of going outside with both hind feet. She could go very 
fast and got a record of 2-19% this way of going, but 
these examples are rare. Many experiments will have to 
be resorted to in order to gait some horses properly, while 
others are the poetry or motion. If you have a horse 
that uses one hind leg properly and swings the other in 
line with his front foot, if a side weight or a shoe with 
the weight in the outside half doesn't have the desired 
effect, reverse the matter and shoe that foot light, with an 
ordinary shoe, and shoe the foot that is carried properly, 
same as you have previously shod the other, and use a 
side weight also. This has had the effect in some cases, 
of inducing the horse to carry both legs properly. Many 
experiments have to be resorted to, in order to get some 
horses to go square.

CHAPTER XIV. 

MANAGEMENT BEFORE AND IN THE RACE. 

We will assume now that your horse is good enough 
to keep the starters company in the race, as far as speed 
is concerned, but never having been in a race, you can 
not tell how he will act in scoring among a half dozen 
starters, some up in the air, and some in front, some be- 
hind, the crowd in the ampitheatre and along the inside 
railing to the track all excited and more or less noise, is 
all calculated to somewhat excite a green trotter, and a 
green driver as well. If you are going to start your 
horse in a race to-morrow, you should observe some of 
the hints before spoken of, as to the curtailment of hay 
and water, to-night. In the morning give the horse his 
regular feed of oats at the regular time, and a little hay, 
and probably walking exercise will be all he will require ; 
and at ten o'clock give him two more quarts of oats and 
a few swallows of water. He will not want any thing 
more until an hour before you start, you can give him a 
pint of oats; it doesn't amount to much but satisfies the 
animal, and he will not miss his afternoon feed so much 
if the race should be prolonged by broken heats. Get 
everything ready and have boots, if you wear boots on 
the horse, that will protect him ; they should be made to 
fit. You will need quarter boots any way, and probably 
knee boots, and hind leg, shin and pass boots ; at all 
events give him what protection he needs, and own them 
yourself; don't borrow or depend on borrowing; have 
bandages, sponges, pail of water, etc., handy. If you go 
to the stable to rub out you will only have to take a pail 
of water and sponges to the quarter stretch to sponge 
out with. If you do not weigh 150 pounds have your 
extra weight to make that in the cushion to your sulky. 
Hitch up about fifteen minutes before you will be called, 
and proceed to warm up for the heat, and accustom the 
horse to the crowd and the music (if there is any), and the 



44 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

general surroundings, but don't unnecessarily excite him. 
When the judges have drawn the positions for each 
horse the bell will call you all up, and you will proceed 
to weigh, get your colors and position. When you are 
all ready to score for a start, you will go to the distance 
stand, or where you think best, watching the rest closely, 
and turn as soon as any of them and come down to the wire 
in the position assigned to you. You will never get the 
word the first attempt, but if it is not a "go" you will be 
signaled by the bell to come back, where as if it is a 
" go " the judges will say "go," in which case go on. If 
you have the pole and can keep it, do so, and don't 
" shrink " or " cringe " if some chap comes close to you. 
Never let anybody drive you into the fence nor carry 
you out on the turns ; stay where you are and keep your 
horse level. If any of them can out trot you they will be 
entitled to the pole, but never have any fear at this 
point ; remember if they run into you, you can hurt them 
as much as they do you, and if you don't flinch they will 
not try it again. Drivers do not ordinarily drive into a 
man known to be resolute and game ; when they do it is 
owing to being mistaken in the man. If your horse hap- 
pens to leave his feet don't snatch him, but let him take 
one, two or three jumps, steady him, and by a little skill- 
ful management you will be able to land him on his feet 
without slackening his pace, as a steady pull to land him 
in a trot is the proper thing. It is all wrong to teach a 
trotter when he leaves his feet to come almost to a stand- 
still before you catch him, as you will lose so much 
ground you will not be able to regain it, and thereby 
lose the heat. If it is evident that you can win the heat 
and you want to do so, go on ; but there is no use in 
winning with a dozen lengths to spare. You will save 
getting a lower mark for your horse by winning by a 
length, and it will answer all purposes. After you have 
won the heat, or finished it, slacken the gait and jog back 
to the stand, where your rubber should be to take the 
horse, while you dismount, by permission of the judges, 
and weigh, which by consulting the rules of the National 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 45 

Trotting Association, you will find is one of the require- 
ments. You will now attend to the wants of your horse. 
Slip him out of the sulky, slip off the harness, and cover 
him up so as to insure a scrape ; pull off the boots and 
have a set of wet bandages (not cold) and do up his legs 
immediately. Shower some water, with a sponge, on his 
poll and forehead, sponge out his mouth and move him 
until you get a scrape, when you can proceed to dry him 
out some with the rubbers. You will have ample time 
without any need of hurry or confusion, to get your horse 
ready for the next heat, as you will have twenty minutes 
any way, and if two races are sandwiched, you will have 
half an hour. A few sweet apples are the finest thing 
you can have to give him while he is walking — two or 
three between the heats — and a little wisp of hay. You 
can give him a couple of swallows of water and sponge 
out his mouth the last thing after having hitched up for 
the next heat. 

You must pay attention to his legs and see that the 
boots have not chafed him. The wash you have must be 
used on his legs, and can be used over his shoulders and 
loins when you strip those parts to scrape him. You will 
cool out in the open air, and in the warm season of the 
year there is very little danger of his getting chilly ; the 
sun will not hurt him unless he is very much fatigued, in 
which case you may walk in the shade 

This is the general way of conducting a race, and you 
will by this time have accumulated considerable experi- 
ence of your own. If your horse is strong in his legs and 
not very much fatigued by the heat he has trotted, there 
may be no real necessity for bandages, but they will do 
no harm, are put on in a moment, and may be of service ; 
and if weak in any of his legs they are positively neces- 
sary. Before you put the boots back onto him brush all 
the sand out of them and scrape off with a knife any ac- 
cumulation of sweat that will come in contact with the 
skin. A boot that chafes a horse may make him un- 
steady and flighty, and practically defeat every other 
effort you have made to win the race.

CHAPTER XV. 

VALUE OF TROTTERS AS COMPARED WITH THAT OF 
PACERS. 

Individual trotters of the first-class have as yet sold for 
more money than any pacer. But allow me to predict, 
(and I am not interested in any pacer or sire of pacers), 
that the time will come when a first-class pacer will bring 
as much as a trotter of the same degree of merit. There 
is a reason at present existing that is manifest, why a 
pacer is not as valuable in dollars for racing purposes, as 
a trotter. This is it : There are a thousand fast trotters 
where there are ten pacers, and consequently, trotting 
associations that are composed of men largely interested 
in breeding trotters, and as trotters predominate in such 
a degree, more money by far is offered by such associa- 
tions to be competed for by trotters ; and until within 
two years, there was no show anywhere for a pacer if he 
was not a "Whirlwind" in point of speed, and for this 
reason, men who wanted to invest money in racing stock 
bought trotters because there was a greater number of 
chances to win out their investment in races. But the 
pacer can no longer be ignored, he is bound to come to 
the front, the public demand it. You over-hear men 
talking now a days about attending a meeting, many of 
whom cannot leave their business more than one day 
perhaps, and nine out of ten of this class, will ask what day 
do the pacers go? "I want to see the " Sidewheelers." 
Any day at a race meeting where a large field of pacers 
are advertised to start, there will be a good attendance ; 
it is the attraction of the day and meeting, as a race among 
a fair field of pacers of any class, has been invariably worth 
seeing, they have in the past invariably "gone for blood," 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 47 

and the receipts at the gate and pool-box, have been 
very satisfactory. There have been more genuine sur 
prises in the pacing races of the last two years, than in 
any other, and that element of uncertainty which lends, its 
charm to racing of any kind, is intensified. The general 
verdict is " no man can pick a winner in the pacing 
race," and in conclusion I will say, I had rather own a 
fast pacer than be President of the United States, in so 
far as fun and money are concerned. It is gratifying and 
interesting to contemplate the fact that the American 
people can produce almost anything there is a demand 
for, in an incredible short space of time, and the pacer is 
a case in point, in proof of this assertion, as until quite 
recently, fast pacers were very scarce, now I can name a 
number who can almost break a watch with their speed* 
and a number yet to hear from not yet distinguished. 
Any gentleman desiring information concerning pacers, 
their pedigrees, location of birth, and general history, 
should correspond with Mr. N. A.. Randall, of Indianap- 
olis, proprietor of the Western Sportsman, who knows 
more about the pacing element in Indiana, Kentucky, 
and Illinois, than any man I have met.

CHAPTER XVI. 

WINTERING A TROTTER OR PACER WITH THE VIEW OF 
CAMPAIGNING HIM THE FOLLOWING SEASON. 

Unless a horse has some infirmity at the close of the 
season when it is intended to devote his powers to racing 
the following season, there is no good reason as I can see. 
for a complete let-up in his training. But if he is weak in 
his legs, and it is evident that comparative rest will not 
renew his accustomed strength and stoutness, he will have 
to have a let-up, and a course of blistering or firing re- 
sorted to, and before you do it, if you are not a compe- 
tent judge yourself of what is necessary to be done in the 
case, consult some Veterenarian of standing in his pro- 
fession, and follow his directions in the matter. But if 
on the contrary, the horse is all plumb on his legs, a 
season of comparative rest and good care, will take him 
through the Winter, and bring him out in the Spring in 
fine fettle, and eager again to renew the contest which 
will be ever ready to welcome him, providing he is not a 
" ringer." After you get him home, give him a chance to 
eat all the fresh grass he wants, and let him up in his 
work, jogging him short distances about every other day, 
and if there have been any inflammatory symptoms about 
his legs or elsewhere, they will shortly disappear. You 
can have his shoes removed and replace them with a set 
of tips, which will answer all purposes for him to do his 
jogging in, and will give his feet a chance to expand by 
allowing the heels to come in contact with the ground, 
but don't stop feeding him a reasonable amount of oats 
daily. When icy roads have taken the place of soft dirt 
roads, you will need to have him shod sharp with caulks, 
and give him work enough to keep him in health and 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 49 

bodily strength, and unless you are very anxious to sleigh- 
ride and brush with the boys, you have no need to clip 
him. I would not indulge in speeding him at all during 
the Winter, as he will have all the fast work he wants 
when Springtime comes. A horse wintered in the man- 
ner I have indicated, can be made " June fast," if you 
need the speed thus early. While you are passing the 
Winter months, subscribe for one or more of the Weekly 
Journals of the country, of which there are a number, to- 
wit : Turf, Field and Farm, Spirit of the Times, of New 
York, or the Western Sportsman, of Indianapolis, or the 
Chicago Horseman and Dunton's Spirit of the Turf, pub- 
lished in Chicago, all of which are interesting reading:, 
and devoted to the interests of Horsemen throughout the 
World. No Horseman can read either of these papers 
without learning something of value to him, beside enter- 
taining him during the leisure hours at home. Any ques- 
tion you may desire to ask of any of the foregoing jour- 
nals respecting the treatment for various complaints that 
horses, as well as other domestic animals, are subject to, 
will be answered through their columns by a competent 
Veterinarian employed for that purpose, free of charge, 
which many times is very convenient, especially if you 
reside at a point remote from a Veterinary Surgeon's 
place of business, and also a saving in expense. No 
trotter or pacer should be allowed to lay on a superabun- 
dance of fat in Winter, as it will have to be removed, and 
this must be accomplished at the expense of the legs, 
largely. But a horse can be allowed to lay on some fat, 
it helps him to keep warm, and when time comes to shed 
his coat in Spring, the fat will be there to assist nature in 
the reproduction of the new coat. I should never clip a 
horse designed to be campaigned the following season.

CHAPTER XVII. 

DEVELOPING A PACER. 

Many of the trotting-horse trainers and drivers, even 
of the present day, have had but limited experience in 
this department, if any. I think that Indiana has at 
present more talent in the line of developing pacers than 
any other State, and as it is the home of the pacer it is 
not to be wondered at. A pacer probably will give evi- 
dence, if he is going to show any remarkable speed, 
sooner, and with less trouble, in the hands of a compe- 
tent man, than a trotter. The lateral movements of a 
pacer in action at once demonstrates that there should 
be less trouble, by odds in developing him, than would 
be ordinarily with a trotter. A pacer moves a side at a 
time, or the fore and hind legs of each side of the animal 
move simultaneously; now all that is necessary is, to have 
a level head, and a disposition to "go on," (without which 
no horse is worth a dollar as a race horse,) together with 
the requisite strength bodily, to carry him along, and the 
condition to continue those exertions, and you have a 
pacer. If you have a pacing bred horse, with hard bot- 
tomed crosses in his pedigree, and he 6hows an aptitude 
for pacing, you would, I assume, be foolish to try and 
convert him, and make a trotter of him, it can be done as 
a rule, but the chances are that you would have but an 
indifferent trotter, where you might have had a "whirl- 
wind" in the form of a pacer. I will enumerate some of 
the requisities you will need in developing a pacer. In 
the first place a pacing horse should be shod as light in 
front, with steel shoes, as possible, and have a shoe (not 
a plate) on; and if you have any suspicion he will touch 
his knees, you want the most approved style of knee boot 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 51 

you can find, for when a pacing horse hits his knee, 
squarely, with the other fore foot moving at speed, and 
without boots, you will have a cripple for some time, and 
you therefore never should take any chances. Knee and 
quarter boots are ordinarily all the boots you will need ; 
they are at all events the most important, any others that 
may be needed will suggest themselves as time pro- 
gresses. A pacer can move rapidly with his head ele- 
vated by the check pretty high, with greater ease to him- 
self than can a trotter. You will notice by close attention 
that nearly every pacer that can go fast, goes with his 
head in a peculiar position, nearly all higher than you 
would expect to see them carry their heads if they were 
trotting. There are some exceptions to this rule, it is 
true, but in teaching a pacer to go, you will want his head 
pretty well up, and you can gauge the matter as the re- 
quirements indicate. In five weeks from the time you 
take a green pacer in hand you will be able to judge 
pretty accurately whether you have got any natural speed 
or not. For the horse should — if he was in good plight, as 
regards flesh and soundness when you took him in hand — 
have shown you he has some speed, if there is any 
in him — in four or five weeks. It is the theory of 
some good trainers, that a pacer tires in his legs before 
he does any where else, as evidenced by the fact, that 
when a pacer does leave his feet, he generally makes a 
wild losing break, and is rarely a good breaker. The lat- 
eral movements of the pacing gait will, I think, help to 
establish this theory, as the power applied to move the 
body along at the rapid pace, is not distributed as in the 
the trotter, and he consequently tires sooner. The long 
distant matches of earlier times substantiates this theory; 
notably, the ten mile races between Kentucky Prince and 
Hero, the pacer, in 1853, for $5,000 a side, each race; in 
the first Hero was stopped in the seventh mile and in the 
last he struggled on and quit in the tenth mile. Although 
Hero had a world of speed and had shown a mile in 2-i8£, 
he tired, and in the last race, nine miles in a trifle less 
than twenty-five minutes, was the best he could do. 



52 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

Kentucky Prince winning both races easily, driven by 
the veteran, Hiram Woodruff, while Hero was driven by 
George Spicer, a worthy contemporary of Hiram's. 
Therefore assuming the theory to be correct, that a pacer 
tires in his legs sooner than a trotter, it stands the trainer 
in hand to season the pacers legs thoroughly. The pac- 
ing gait is not as trying to the legs as the trotting gait, 
and consequently the pacer can, and does stand more fast 
work in his preparation for a campaign, or in the course 
of his development than you would subject the average 
trotter to. All the rules of health, feed, care and man- 
agement in his sweats and races are identical to those in 
vogue respecting the management of trotters. The pac- 
ing mare Gurgle, now owned by J. I. Case, Esq., of 
Racine, Wis., is a noticeable example of how near you 
can come to spoiling a pacer of the first magnitude by 
endeavoring to make an indifferent trotter. Pat Dicker- 
son, of North Vernon, Ind., bought her of his brother in 
the Spring of 1883, for six or seven hundred dollars, as a 
trotter, but she demonstrated to her owner's satisfaction 
in the first race he had her in, that he had more'of a pacer 
than trotter, and acting upon the impulse, changed her 
shoes, and at the Chicago meeting she distinguished her- 
self in the great pacing contest, wherein Johnson was the 
winner, by finishing a good second in 2-1 3, and was sold 
then and there to J. I. Case, for, I think, $7,000. This 
was a happy change. Gurgle was sired by the pacing 
stallion Pocahontas Boy, sire of Buffalo Girl, J. H. Clark, 
of Scio, Alleghany County, New York, is owner of Poca- 
hontas Boy. Pacers before they get balanced in their 
gait will often hit the inside of one front foot against 
the inside of the hind foot of the opposite side and 
sometimes " scalp " the inside of the hind pastern, in 
which case a pair of scalping or toe boots would be 
necessary ; but a pair of very light toe weights from 
two to four ounces, ordinarily corrects the habit, and, 
once over it, by continued proper attention to shoeing 
and driving, it rarely returns. I believe a light steel bar 
shoe, not to exceed twelve ounces in weight, for front 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 53 

feet, will suit a pacer better than any other, and I will 
add, that no shoe for any horse is as good as a bar shoe 
properly set. There should be a space between the froa; 
and the bar of the shoe, when first applied, so you can 
readily slip a silver quarter of a dollar between. By using 
a bar shoe, the horse gets a natural frog pressure and 
keeps the frog pressed up into the sole where it belongs, 
and the foot will stay sound longer at fast work, with a 
bar shoe properly applied than with any other. In driv- 
ing a pacer, a different position in the sulky may be as- 
sumed than in driving trotters; a pacer needs more weight 
on his back than a trotter, and the position intended to 
throw as much weight on the horse's back as possible 
should be assumed. In catching a pacer when he makes 
a break, swing him a little sidewise, first one way then the 
other, he has got to catch a side at a time and this motion 
will do it quicker than a pull you would take on a trotter 
to recover him from a break. 

There is a family that belong in Southern Indiana, 
named Stewart, who are natural born handlers of pacers. 
They brought out Flora Bell, Greeley, and a number of 
others, not so distinguished, but fast. I have heard them 
state that a pacer could be made to go as fast as he ever 
would in sixty days. No horse designed to become a fast 
pacer should ever be allowed to trot ; make him either 
pace or walk. A double gaited pacer is a fraud and a delu- 
sion.

CHAPTER XVIII. 

HARNESSING AND DRIVING HORSES. 

In "hitching a horse," as it is termed among horsemen, 
many men are deficient, otherwise good horsemen. A 
horse with a harness on that does not fit him, is in about 
the same frame of mind as his driver would be with a 
shirt on that is an uncomfortable fit. See that your head- 
stall fits his head, and that the hair in his mane and fore- 
top is not doubled up under the crown piece of the head- 
stall, the saddle should be set at the right point, back of 
withers, and the back strap should be the right length to 
keep the check-rein from pulling the saddle forward onto 
the withers. The girths should be buckled snugly and 
the breeching should be loose enough to give the quarters 
plenty of room, and tight enough not to allow the wagon 
to run on to the horse, should you be obliged to take a 
pull on him. Make a point to see that everything about 
the harness and vehicle is strong, and properly hitched; at- 
tention to this particular often saves many an accident, 
and in some cases, loss of life and property. Martingales 
should be long enough, ordinarily, to allow the reins to 
draw straight from the bit to turrets, and in many cases 
can be dispensed with entirely. The use of head- 
stalls with winkers, can also, in many cases be dispensed 
with. 

In trotting and pacing horses for racing purposes, I 
think an open bridle is preferable. But in road horses 
that are inclined to be slack drivers I think winkers are 
an advantage, as without them a lazy horse is watching 
you and will slacken his gait if he can see you are not 
prepared to give him a cut with the whip. 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 55 

In driving, the whip is an important auxiliary, and you 
should never get in behind a horse without one, but an 
indiscriminate use of the whip will produce unsatisfactory 
results with horses, as well as with the growing generation 
of men. Never use it unless it is necessary, then let the 
horse know that it is no plaything. In driving horses, 
insist upon an even rate of speed when you start them 
up, and don't pull at the bit, only steady the horse, he 
will as he improves in strength and gait, take hold of 
the bit hard enough to suit you. Horses learn to go 
themselves if they are not interfered with and have the 
capacity to go. A horse in a horseman's hands may in a 
short time learn to go a clip that will carry a man ten or 
twelve miles an hour, without any persuasion, and do it 
cheerfully, and passing into another man's hands, get in a 
short time so that he will have to be clubbed to get him 
ten miles in an hour, or else he will graduate into a 
chronic puller ; now this is all in the treatment and driv- 
ing. I have seen some ladies who were exceptionally 
good drivers of road horses and exhibited a judgment 
and discretion found in but few of the sterner sex. For 
horses that shy, and are afraid of objects they are unac- 
quainted with, of course you must be on the lookout for. 
But the fear in the horse is oftener intensified by the 
timid driver, than a catastrophe is averted by such a 
driver's exertions. Watch your horse but don't commu- 
nicate to him through the medium of the reins and bit, 
that you anticipate any unruly exhibition from him. 
There is a magnetism existing which I cannot account 
for, that is communicated from the driver to the horse and 
from the horse to the man through the medium of the 
reins and bit. Any man having had much experience in 
riding and driving horses, can attest to this statement. 
You may go out to drive, not feeling first rate, on a fine 
morning ; if the horse possesses a superabundance of ani- 
mal spirits, you will shortly begin to feel better and ex- 
hilerated by the association. Some may say it is only the 
air and exercise, and constant and rapid change of scenery, 
but I know better, you get into a street car, and ride, 



56 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

eight or ten miles at the same rate as behind the horse 
and you will be able to appreciate the difference. I would 
not give a cent to ride behind a horse if I couldn't drive 
him. I have no doubt many men have experienced the 
difference between riding with a friend, he doing the 
driving, and driving themselves. 

In recovering a horse from a break, some horses acquire 
the habit of catching their gait by a pull upon the left 
rein, some will only catch with the right, which habit is 
formed by the driver to whom they owe their education. 
A horse should not be snatched from side to side but 
steady him until he knows what he is about, and ordina- 
rily by a slight shake of the bit he will recover his trot 
readily. Never allow a horse to slacken his rate of speed 
if it is possible to catch him without doing so. There is 
occasionally a horse that will leave his feet and make a 
couple of jumps, when a steady pull will seemingly catch 
him in the air and he will land in a square trot and ap- 
parently glorying in his accomplishment. Horses that 
leave their feet without cause, like interfering, brushing 
themselves, etc., and are moving entirely within their limit 
of speed, a little whalebone does a world of good, and 
you can make them understand by its use, that you will 
put up with no such foolishness. But before you use the 
whip be sure that the horse is not brushing himself any- 
where, in which case you would commit an unpardonable 
mistake by whipping him, and a horse may be guilty of 
the offense of leaving his feet in & playful manner without 
being able seemingly to control his animal spirits. Work 
is the remedy to be applied in this case instead of the 
whip. 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 5T 



CHAPTER XIX, 

BUYING A HORSE. 

In buying a horse that is supposed to possess speed,, 
insist upon seeing him harnessed and driven, if he is 
broken to harness. Never buy a " lot trotter " unless you 
know to a dead certainty that he will not "shut up "when 
you hitch him in harness. The writer has seen horses that 
in the field, could show you a gait that would seem to 
indicate a capacity to wipe out all previous records, and 
when harnessed could not go fast enough to keep warm. 
Of course, a thorough horseman can judge something of 
the claims to merit a horse or colt may have in respect 
to speed, by observing their action in the field, being able 
by reason of their experience and observation to discrimi- 
nate between a high " tail over the back " gait, and 
genuine trotting action, he would take into consideration 
the conformation of the animal in general, and also his 
near ancestry, or pedigree upon which the writer places 
considerable reliance. I had rather have a green colt 
out of sire and dam who were performers, than out of a 
sire and dam not performers, whose offspring is untried ; 
other things being equal. If a man comes to you and 
says : " I have got a horse that can show a mile in '25,. 
he is sound and all right and no record, and I'll sell him 
for a thousand dollars!" If he will agree to show you 
2-25 and take off fifty dollars per second for every second 
he falls short of the mark, the probability is, if you can 
nail him to this agreement, he will have to give you the 
horse and odds besides. Men always over-rate the speed 
their horses possess, when negotiating a sale. If you are 
not a judge of speed, there is no sure test for you to ap- 
ply but a watch, it will generally beat any trotter. There 



58 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

are many men whose experience has made them excel- 
lent judges of speed, and will readily depend upon their 
judgment in estimating the speed of a horse under nego- 
tiation. 

Any unsoundness of limbs, feet or wind, in a trotter or 
pacer renders the animal practically of little value, 
there are some exceptions however. The loss of an eye 
would not incapacitate a horse for turf or road purposes, 
and horses with a bone spavin on each leg, are frequently 
of considerable value, but any infirmity of the locomotive 
or breathing powers will result in great disappointment 
to the owner nine times out of ten ; so, if you value your 
peace of mind, don't buy a cripple. Size in horses men 
may differ about more than either of my foregoing obser- 
vations, respecting speed and soundness. Horses both 
big and little, have been not only great performers but 
great lasters as well. From fifteen to sixteen hands seems 
by experience to be about the range that first-class per- 
formers cover in respect to height. A sixteen hand horse 
is large enough and a fifteen hand horse is small enough 
for turf purposes. Length of body is quite as important 
as height. A horse " long on the ground " has an 
advantage over a horse much shorter ; some horses 
fifteen and a half hands high, frequently are longer 
than other horses sixteen hands, in which case other 
things being equal, the smaller horse I would prefer for 
a race horse. Limbs, feet, respiratory and digestive organs 
in a sound and healthy condition, we must admit, con- 
tribute largely in the make up of a horse, but a horse 
without a well balanced head is of no earthly account as 
a race or road horse of the first order. The brain is the 
seat of nervous energy, and this is what is absolutely 
essential in a performer of the first magnitude. Were 
this not a fact, how can the superiority of Maud S., Jay 
Eye See, St. Julian, Richbal] and Johnson, be accounted 
for, as compared with others of the equine family. Thou- 
sands of horses all over the United States, trained and 
untrained, possesses as fine muscular development, just 
as good bone, from the same families, been educated and 



DEVELOP SPEED IN HORSES. 59 

handled by just as good men, and have not lacked in 
opportunities to distinguish themselves. If the brain is 
not the fountain of speed in the trotter and pacer, will 
not some Solon of the present day enlighten us? The 
existence of this brain power in the requisite degree to 
impell the animal at the rate of a mile in 2-10 is not ap- 
parent to the observation, and it remains to be seen 
whether the horse has this requisite or not. All horses 
exhibit in their countenance and eyes, any index of their 
general disposition. If you will judge them in the same 
manner you would estimate a man's character, providing 
you are a good physiognomist, you will come as near the 
right estimate as any body. I have seen men who placed 
great stress upon a high tempered boisterously disposed 
colt, some kicker or runaway animal, that did it out of 
pure "cussedness." I have seen men go and buy one of 
this kind, and unbeknown to any neighbor work at his 
purchase for a month or six weeks, felicitously awaiting 
for the time to arrive for him to astonish and paralyze his 
friends and acquaintances with his newly acquired treas- 
ure, but I have never known a man made happy by the 
purchase of such an animal. We prefer a mild mannered 
sensibly disposed horse to any hot headed kicker or run- 
away animal, both for a road or a race horse, or in any 
other capacity. In respect to breeding, a well bred horse 
will not be overlooked on account of the absence of 
known pedigree. The breeding is apparent in the animal 
whether good or bad. In selecting a trotter that is un- 
developed from among a number of unbroken colts, the 
pedigree and performances of his immediate ancestors 
should not be overlooked, although one colt from the sire 
and dam of a number of colts and fillies may be a phe- 
nomenal trotter or pacer, while the others, full brothers 
and sisters, are of no particular account. The Bruno 
and Brunette family was remarkable for their all being 
trotters of no mean capacity. Bruno and Brunette trot- 
ted a trial in double harness^ in 2-25^2". Young Bruno's 
record 2-22%, Breeze 2-24, Daniel Boone, record 2-31. 
trial 2-26, Carl Burr, trial 2-24^ and Jack Archol, the 



60 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

youngest of Old Kate's foals, won a race in 1880, in 2-29 
and Bona Fide has no record, but is a trotter ; all these 
colts by Rysdyks Hambletonian, and Old Kate, of whose 
breeding nothing is known. Some men we hear speak 
very regretfully on account of the deaths of such sires as 
Rysdyks Hambletonian, Blue Bull, Ethan Allen, George 
Wilkes, etc., as though there would never be another sire 
capable of producing a first-class trotter, but I believe 
that to-day there are ten stallions calculated and capable 
of siring as fast and game trotters as any of the dead 
heroes proved themselves capable of doing, to where 
there was one such sire fifteen years ago. All there is 
necessary to prove this assertion is time and opportunity. 
We would not detract from the fame of the dead heroes 
above alluded to. if we could. At the same time, I believe 
in according to the living and vigorous representatives 
now in the stud, the opportunity they deserve, believing 
that the time is not far distant, when some trotter or 
pacer will do a mile in two minutes, and moreover, I be- 
lieve that there will appear upon the trotting and pacing 
horizon within the next three years, a double team that 
will wipe out all previous records, any way of going, and 
both horses go the same gait, or in other words, no run- 
ning mate will be employed.

CHAPTER XX. 

CONCLUSION. 

When a horse has come to his speed, do not dog the 
speed out of him by long tedious slow jogging, for when 
his limbs are seasoned to go a mile in good time, say 2-30, 
or a little better, his further improvement in speed will 
result from short jogs and sharp brushes of speed in his 
work, not too extended, together with close attention to 
the conditioning process, with a repeat once a week or 
ten days, if you are not trotting him in races, and if you 
are, he will not need a repeat. Don't over work him; 
two-thirds of the ''quitters" are horses that have had too 
much work ; and bear in mind another important truth, 
different horses will require different treatment in respect 
both to feeding, water and work, and if you should have 
a dozen horses in charge, probably not more than two 
of them would require the same treatment, and your 
judgment must guide you as to feed, water, work, shoeing 
and hitching. No man has ever attained a desirable 
reputation as a trainer and driver of trotting horses with- 
out possessing the elements in his make up, that would 
have made him successful in any other department of life 
wherein judgment, perseverance and a level head, would 
be required to insure success. As to the general integ- 
rity of the profession I will say, that I believe they have 
exhibited as much fidelity to the trusts reposed in them 
as any other class of men ; bank officials and treasurers of 
trust funds not excepted. One thing is certain, you 
need never expect anfy man to serve you unflinchingly, 
unless you make it an object for him to do so. Very little 
complaint is ever heard from men who employ first-class 
trainers and drivers, and pay them what their services 
are worth. And further, no horseman on earth can take 
a natural born "duffer" and make a race horse of him, 
and still you hear men every day condemned and ma- 



62 HAY SEED, OR HOW TO 

ligned for not making a winner out of some animal utterly 
destitute of the first element of a race horse (except in 
the mind of his owner). If you set out to develop a trot- 
ter, your object, I presume, will be the dollars and cents 
that will accrue as speed is acquired by the horse. If 
you have not that object in view you will never make a trot- 
ter. I have never known a first-class trotter or race horse 
of any description, brought out by a trainer, just for the 
fun of the thing ; amusement is not a sufficient incentive. 
As I observed at the outset, do not trot or pace your 
horse for any one's amusement, or your own even, if he 
don't need speeding; great harm has befallen horses in 
showing them to people who had no interest in seeing 
them go, but idle curiosity. 

I have endeavored in the foregoing pages, to give the 
information the amateur horseman would naturally crave 
upon the subject of developing speed, at the outset of his 
career as a trainer. Perhaps there will never be a man 
read this book but what knows, or thinks he knows 
more than the writer, but that is nothing, there is 
no subject that the average man, and woman even, think 
they are as competent to grapple with as The Horse, and 
if you desire to arouse a man's antagonism, tell him he 
doesn't know anything about a horse. If I have succeeded 
in interesting you, reader, to the extent, that you will seek 
to upset any of the theories or practices laid down in 
this work, I am satisfied. There is a great amount of 
pleasure and satisfaction in the companionship of horses 
if they are good ones, but if you possess the knowledge 
and deservement that will enable you, not only to select 
a good one from among ten thousand, but to develop him 
in speed and money value also, you combine pleasure 
with profit. Many a horse to-day^is performing menial 
service that had he in his youth been taken in hand by a 
thorough horseman, would have had his name enrolled 
in the 2-30 list. No horse can ever distinguish himself 
without an opportunity and the assistance of a compe- 
tent trainer, and knowledge is the pre-requisite of the 
trainer's qualifications.

deciding heat of the race; and, if the result and circum- 
stances of the race shall confirm their belief, the rider or 
driver so removed shall be expelled by the Judges. And

waived in that heat, except for foul riding or driving. 
[See also Rule 60, Sec. 2.] 

Sec. 2. The Judges shall, after the first scoring,

part of the track, except after selecting his position on 
the homestretch, he shall not change from the right to

him that in altering his position he compels the horse be- 
hind him to shorten his stride, or causes the rider or 
driver of such other horse to pull him out of his stride; 
neither shall any horse, rider, or driver cross, jostle, or 
strike another horse, rider, or driver, nor swerve, or "car- 
ry him out," "sit down in front of him," or do any other 
act which constitutes what is popularly known as " help- 
ing," or which shall impede the progress of another

race, and any party failing to comply with this require- 
ment, if he come out ahead, shall lose the heat, and the 
next best horse shall win the heat ; and whether such 
breaking horse come out ahead or not, all other horses 
shall be placed ahead of him in that heat, and the Judges 
shall have discretionary power to distance the offending 
horse or horses, and the rider or driver may be punished 
by a fine not to exceed $100, or by suspension not ex- 
ceeding one year. 

Sec 2. Should the rider or driver comply with this 
requirement, and the horse should gain by a break, twice 
the distance so gained shall be taken from him at the 
coming out; but this provision must not be so construed 
as to shield any trotting or pacing horse from punishment 
for running. 

Sec. 3. In case of any horse (in trotting race) repeat- 
edly breaking, or running, or pacing, while another horse 
is trotting, the Judges shall punish the horse so breaking, 
running, or pacing, by placing him last in the heat. 

Sec. 4. To assist in determining the matters con- 
tained in Sections 1, 2, and 3, it shall be the duty of one

every break made, designating by colors or name the horse 
making it and the character of the break, and a Judge or 
assistant shall at once note the fact in writing. 

Sec. 5. A horse breaking at or near the score 
shall be subject to no greater penalty than if he broke on 
any other part of the track.

shall have made a dead heat, but horses so ruled out shall 



TROTTING ASSOCIATION. 81 

have a right to a share of the purse or premium, accord- 
ing to the rank at the close of their last heat. And where 
ten or more horses start in a race, every horse not dis-

erwise stipulated in the published conditions of the race. 
[See Rule 36, Sections 1 and 3.]

41, and 43.] 

Rule 40. — Horses to be Timed. 

Section i. The two leading horses shall be separately- 
timed, and if the heat is awarded to either, his time only 
shall be announced and be a record or bar as the case

out of the race for fraud or ineligibility, he shall retain 
the record or bar acquired by the time so announced . 
[See also Rules 39, 41, and 43.] 

Sec. 2. In case of a dead heat, the time shall con- 
stitute a record or bar for the horses making the dead 
heat; and if for any other cause the heat is not awarded 
to either of the leading horses, it shall be awarded to 
the next best horse, and no time shall be given out by the 
Judges or recorded against either horse; and the Judges 
may waive the application of the rule in regard to distance

such a fraudulent suppression of time, together with the 
parties implicated in the fraud, shall by operation of the 
rules be henceforth disqualified from the right to compete 
on the grounds of members; which disqualification may 
be removed only by order of the Board of Review, when 
upon investigation the board shall believe that the con- 



86 RULES NATIONAL 

structive fraud was not premeditated, but only then upon 
a restitution or return to the custody of the Treasurer of 
this Association of any premiums that under any circum- 
stances have been awarded such horse on the grounds of

Section i. A record can be made only in a public

selected for the purpose, and the record of their names as 
well as the time must be kept. 

Sec. 2. Time otherwise taken, at fairs and on any 
track, whether short or not, shall be known as a bar, and

mile, and exceeding a half mile, shall be regarded as 
irregular, and time made in any such race shall create a 
bar.

BETTING RULES. 93 



PREFACE TO BETTING RULES. 



In framing the general Rules and Regulations, the first 
Congress (in 1870) made no reference therein to betting. 
But, acting upon the belief that a published code of bet- 
ting rules, emanating from a suitable committee, would 
assist in the correction of abuses, and thus promote the 
reformatory objects of the National Association, it was 
moved that the presiding officer appoint such a commit- 
tee, which being agreed to, the chair appointed three 
prominent gentlemen to discharge that duty, with 
authority to select and add two more to their number. 
Through that committee, there was established the Code 
of 32 Betting Rules published in 1870, and these were 
revised and amended by another committee of five 
gentlemen appointed from the Congress of 1871, who 
reported the Code of 31 Betting Rules published that 
year ; since which time (no change having been made 
therein), the same Code has continued in use among 
turfmen, and is now re-published as remaining in force. 

These Betting Rules form no part of the laws of the 
Association, but they are published in this place for the 
convenience of those who desire to consult them.

in first is found to be disqualified, or the bets are declared 
off for fraud or collusion. 

No. 2. If the race is postponed, it shall not affect the 
pools or bets that may have been made on it. They shall 
stand until the race comes off, unless the contrary shall 
be agreed on between the parties betting ; provided the 
race takes place within five days of the time first named; 
after which time all bets and pools are drawn, unless 
made play or pay. 

No. 3. When any change is made in the conditions 
of a race, all pools and bets made previous to the an- 
nouncement of the change shall be null and void.

starts against him; but there is no field unless one start 
against him.

all the horses that start in the race; but for those horses 
that do not start the money must be returned to the 
purchaser. 

No. 6. In races made play or pay, outside bets are 
not play or pay unless so made by the parties. 

No. 7. All bets are void on the decease of either party, 
but in case a horse should die, play or pay bets made on

No. 9. If in any case the Judges declare a heat null 
and void, it does not affect the bets as in case of a dead 
heat as to winning in straight heats. 

No. 10. When a race is coming off, and a party bets 
that a heat will be made in two minutes and thirty sec- 
onds (2.30), and they make two thirty (2.30) or less, he 
would win. If he bets they will beat two minutes and 
thirty seconds (2.30), and they make exactly two thirty 
(2.30), he loses; but if he takes two minutes and thirty 
seconds (2.30), against the field, and they make exactly 
two thirty (2.30), it is a tie or draw bet. All time bets to 
be decided accordingly. 

No. 11. In a double event — where there is no action 
on the first race in order, in consequence of forfeit or 
other cause, the bet is off; out where there is an action

or pay bet for the second event. 

. No. 12. If a bet should be made during the contest of 
a heat that a named horse will win that heat, and he 
makes a dead heat, the bet is drawn, but if, after the 
horses have passed the score, a party bets that a certain 
named horse has won the heat, and the Judges declare it 
a dead heat, the backer of the named horse loses. 

No. 13. In races between two or more horses, of a 
single dash at any distance, which result in a dead heat, 
it is a draw between the horses making the dead heat, and 
bets between them are off; and if it is sweepstakes, the 
money of the beaten horses is to be divided between the 
horses making the dead heat. 

No. 14. When a bettor undertakes to place^the horses 
in a race, he must give a specified place, as first, second,,

Different Styles of Betting by Turf Speculators of the 
Present Day. 



Perhaps a brief explanation of the manner in which 
wagers are laid upon turf events will not be out of place 
in this volume. Every prominent race meeting of the 
present day offers its patrons the opportunity of invest- 
ing their wealth upon the " favorite," or the ''field," in 
any race that may come off. The favorite method of 
betting money on races is the auction pool system, which 
was introduced here by a man named Doctor Under- 



98 BETTING RULES 

wood, about thirty years ago, who became not only an 
attraction, but a necessity at every large race meeting of 
his day and time, as no meeting was complete without 
Doc. Underwood, as he was familiarly called by all the 
patrons of the turf. Many *' silver tongued orators " 
have appeared in Underwood's role as pool-sellers, but 
a gentleman named Herdic, hailing from Williamsport, 
Pennsylvania, I think can transfer more money 
from speculators pockets into the pool box in a 
given time, than any man that has appeared since 
Underwood's day. Pool-sellers are merely the stake- 
holders of speculators who desire to deposit the amount 
of their bet where they know they can get it when the 
event is decided upon which the wager is laid, as pool- 
sellers are compelled by all large racing associations to 
give bonds, or secure their patrons against any default of 
payment as soon as the bet is decided. To illustrate: 
Suppose ten horses start in a race, cy are expected to 
start, the pool-seller commences by selling at auction the 
first choice which may bring $100; he then sells in the 
same way the second choice, which may bring $50; now 
there is $150 »in the pool, and he will probably sell the 
"field," or all the other horses in a bunch, for $20, and 
the total pool amounts to $170. If you have bought the 
favorite, or any other part of the pool, you step up to 
the cashier and pay him the amount you bid and receive 
a card, or pool ticket as it is called, which states the 
name of the horse you have selected, the amount you 
have paid, and the total amount of the pool. If the 
horse you have selected wins the race, you, upon presen- 
tation of your ticket, are paid the total amount of the 
pool, less three per cent, which pays the pool-seller for 
his time and trouble. Money deposited with the pool- 
seller at any large meeting is just as safe as though it was 
in a bank, as far as he is concerned, as pool-buyers would 
be a little too desperate a class of creditors for any man 
to fool with. In some cases the horses are all sold sepa- 
rately, which is called " selling them down." In such a 
case, of course, there is no "field." 



BETTING RULES. 99 

Paris Mutuals, or " French pools," as they are called, 
are conducted differently. The horses are all sold at 
the same price, from $5 to $25 ; each and every heat is 
a race. The sales are kept track of by means of a regis- 
ter called a Paris Mutual machine, which registers in 
plain sight of all the buyers the number of tickets sold 
on each horse, as well as the total number of tickets, and 
a speculator can see at a glance exactly the value of each 
ticket sold on the winner at that moment. At the con- 
clusion of each heat the total amount of the receipts for 
tickets is divided between the holders of tickets on the 
winner, less the commission of the pool-seller, which is 
five per cent, usually. 

Book-making is another system of betting, which is a 
style of betting in vogue in England for a long time, but 
has been introduced in this country quite recently, and 
within the last ten years has made rapid strides into pop- 
ular favor, particularly at all " running meetings." Book- 
makers bet against every horse in the race winning, and 
generally give " odds," such as five to one, ten to one, 
and as high as seventy to one. If you desire to back any 
particular horse and the book-maker is giving the odds 
of five to one on him, he will not let you bet less than five 
dollars, so you lay five against twenty-five that the 
horse you have backed will win the race over all others, 
and the book-maker has the "field " against you in every 
transaction. No commission is collected by book-makers. 
In trotting and pacing races every heat is a race, same as 
in the French pool system.

"RECUPERATIVE" 



This preparation is designed to be administered 
to horses suffering from exhaustion, occasioned by 
violent exertion in all contests of speed. The " Re- 
cuperative " will slow the heart's action and restore 
the nerve force expended in trotting or pacing a fast 
heat. The " Recuperative " affords instant relief in 
cases of " Thumps " or Palpitation of the Heart, but 
should not be given unless the condition of the horse 
clearly indicates the necessity of an artificial stimu- 
lant, in which case this preparation is invaluable. 
Give no whisky, sherry wine, or any other stimulant 
with the " Recuperative." 

Dose.— Twent}^ drops on the tongue at the ter- 
mination of the heat, if necessary. 

In severe attacks of Lung Fever, or Congestion of 
the Lungs, give the " Recuperative " in fifteen drop 
doses every half hour until relieved, then once in an 
hour, &c. It will give relief in every case. 

Put up in four ounce bottles with directions. 
Price, $2.00 per bottle. Sent to any address on re- 
ceipt of price. 

Prepared only by 

The Smeall Horse Remedy Co,, 

TOLEDO, OHIO. 



Dr. A. N. SMEALL'S 

Nerve & Blood Tonic 



This remedy corrects every irregularity of 
the Digestive Organs, Liver, and Blood, arousing a 
healthy appetite, and assisting the stomach in digest- 
ing the food perfectly, whereby all functional troubles 
are expelled. This medicine is in form of powders, 
each box containing twelve powders, one to be given 
at a dose in soft feed, or bran mash. 

This preparation is compounded from pure in- 
gredients, and contains no metallic substance but 
Iron. Each powder has an outside wrapping of tin 
foil, and will retain its strength indefinitely. 

No medicine has ever been offered the owners 
of horses equal to this for Loss of Appetite, Staring 
Coat, General Weakness and Emaciation, Yertigo 
or Staggers, Swelling of the Legs, and all forms of 
trouble resulting from Indigestion, Neglect, or Over- 
work. One box is usually sufficient. 

Price, $1.00 per box. Sent to any address on 
receipt of price.

FOR 

Cuts, Burns, Wounds and Sores, 

Of Every Description. 



IMMEDIATELY RELIEVES PAIN. 



The old time theory, to heal wounds, sores, cuts, bruises, 
burns, skin and flesh diseases, of all descriptions, was by mak- 
ing salves of various ingredients, always using beef and mutton 
tallow, hog's lard, beeswax, and various other fatty substances. 
Late discovery has taught us that all above mentioned ingre- 
dients are injurious and outright poison to the human or ani- 
mal flesh where wounded. 

We introduce to the public the new remedy called the 
"Sure Cure," prepared entirely of extracts of vegetations. 
The " Sure Cure " will at once relieve pain, prevent inflam- 
mation, remove all soreness, and heal wounds and sores very 
quick. Our Agents are authorized to refund money in all 
cases where "Sure Cure" fails to do as recommended. 

This remedy has no equal as an application to horseflesh 
for all cases of sore necks, sore breasts, saddle galls, or cracked 
heels (commonly called scratches), or any form of flesh wounds, 
recent or chronic. 

Price, 25 and 50 cents per box. If your Druggist has not 
got it, order direct from us. Trial sample for human flesh 
sent on receipt of 2-cent stamp; sample for horse flesh sent on 
receipt of three 2-cent stamps. Goods sent by mail anywhere 
free, on receipt of price. Address

Dr. A. N. SMEALL'S 

CAMPHORATED 

Leg and Body Wash. 

This preparation must be diluted in the proportion 
of one ounce of the Wash to one quart of rain water, 
and thus diluted to be used as an ordinary wash for race 
horses in training. It will be found superior to any pre- 
paration designed for the same purpose, as it contains 
properties, which, when applied as a body wash, assists 
nature in opening the pores of the skin, which enables 
the blood to throw off its watery surplus through the 
pores, thereby reducing the temperature of the body and 
relieving the internal organs of circulation and respira- 
tion, and should always be used in assisting a horse to 
recover between heats of a race. 

As a Leg Wash it is equally valuable. Legs in- 
clined to inflammation and swelling from work, if ban- 
daged with wet bandages and kept moist with the Wash 
while not at work, will regain their normal condition, 
without a " let up " in training. 

Put up in Quart Bottles only, and sent by Express 
to any address on receipt of price, $3 00. One Quart 
makes Eight Gallons when diluted. . 
Address orders to.
